Is it normal for the baby to have a fever?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. Is it normal for a baby to have a fever?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, fever is a defensive response. If the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, there is no need for antipyretic treatment. Rest, keep warm, and drink plenty of warm water. If the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees, you can take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for symptomatic treatment, and physical cooling methods can also be applied.
Hello, cough with phlegm in babies is likely a symptom of bronchitis caused by a cold. You can use children's cough syrup, children's lung heat cough and asthma oral liquid, combined with antibiotics such as azithromycin or amoxicillin for treatment. You can also give the baby some rock sugar pear juice or stewed pear with Fritillaria cirrhosa for relieving cough with phlegm, which is quite effective. Pay attention to drinking more water, keeping warm, and avoiding catching a cold.
