Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. Please ask, how should I treat a baby with a fever of 38.5°C?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, it is common to experience coughing, phlegm production, and fever. The measured body temperature does not need to be adjusted by 0.5 degrees; a temperature above 37 degrees is considered a fever. You can use infant paracetamol and chuanxindan tablets for treatment. Drink plenty of water, and pay attention to keeping warm. In case of necessity, intravenous fluids can be used for treatment.The symptoms you describe may be caused by tonsillitis. It is recommended to take anti-inflammatory medication and Qingkailing granules for treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods as well as alcohol, and consume more fresh vegetables.
