What are the reasons for a 4-month-old baby having a fever repeatedly for more than 20 days?

Patient's question:

Lately, my boss has said that I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. What could be the reason for a four-month-old baby having recurrent fever for over 20 days?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you give the child Xiao'er Ganmao Ling, Ibuprofen Suspension, Cefixime, and Qingkailing Granules for treatment. If the fever persists, you can try alcohol bathing for relief. The key is to identify the cause of the cough to ensure proper treatment. If it is a respiratory bacterial infection, antibiotics should be used; if it is a respiratory viral infection, antiviral medications should be administered. Most chronic coughs lasting over two months are allergic in nature, so the focus should be on reducing respiratory allergic inflammation. If allergic rhinitis is also present, it may be allergic bronchitis, and desensitization treatment should be the primary approach.
