Patient's question:
Male. 1, cold with runny nose2, fever of 38 degrees
3, booked an appointment at People's Hospital
4, took medicine for two days, drank water for one day
5, blood test results are normal
6, the fever hasn't gone down
Doctor's answer:
If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, then it is necessary to give the child fever-reducing medication. For such a young baby, you can give them either Motrin or Tylenol, both of which work quite quickly to reduce fever. Then, make sure to give the child more fluids and gently wipe their body with lukewarm water. There are many triggers that can cause respiratory issues in children. If the child is confirmed to have a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, assist with gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
