Patient's question:
Son might not have dressed promptly when playing outside a couple of days ago, getting cold. The next morning, he told me his head was a bit painful. After eating, he took a nap. During his nap, I checked his temperature, which was 37.2°C, slightly low-grade fever. Additionally, he has been coughing for these past two days, with phlegm, and still experiencing continued low-grade fever.What kind of help is needed: The child has persistent low-grade fever, coughing, and phlegm. What should be done?
Doctor's answer:
For a child in this situation, physical cooling is more effective. When the child has a fever, they should drink more warm water, vegetable juice, and fruit juice. Drinking more fluids helps digest body fluids, which is the most basic method of cooling. Then, use Bingbing's fever-reducing patches and apply them to the body surface. This is entirely a physical cooling method. At the same time, pay close attention and carefully observe the effects. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if my child has low-grade fever, cough, and phlegm?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
