Patient's question:
The baby is 1.5 years old. On the 19th, it was diagnosed with EB virus infection and stayed in the hospital for a week to recover. After returning home, the baby is doing well. On the 28th, the baby had a temperature of 37.5°C with a cough. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Hello: I believe your baby has a upper respiratory infection caused by a weakened immune system, clinically high fever, cough, and phlegm.Advice: I recommend giving your baby oral roxithromycin and ambroxol tablets, increasing fluid intake with warm water. If the temperature does not exceed 38°C, there is no need to take fever-reducing medication. Maintain a light and easily digestible diet, avoiding extremely cold, hard, or spicy foods. Eating pears or drinking pear soup cooked with rock sugar is beneficial, as pears have the effects of moistening the lungs and clearing the respiratory tract. You can also use a nebulizer. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding catching a cold to prevent the fever from worsening.
I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
