Patient's question:
Lately, my boss has said that 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 I feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Why is it that my 2-month-old baby has a cough but no fever?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for colds, symptomatic treatment with some cold medicine is usually recommended. However, the child is still too young, so self-medication is not advised. It is recommended to use medication under the guidance of a doctor, with traditional Chinese medicine as the first consideration.A fever in children is a common phenomenon, usually caused by a cold. Since the child's thermoregulatory center is not yet fully developed, they are easily affected by external factors, leading to fluctuations in body temperature. Generally, it is advised not to exceed 38°C, as medication for fever is not necessary. Physical cooling methods can be used instead, such as alcohol rubs and warm water washing on the face and forehead.
If the temperature exceeds 38°C, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can usually be taken.
