Patient's question:
Baby #3 has a runny nose. On the 4th, suddenly had cold hands and feet with a fever close to 40 degrees. After applying fever reducer patches for 4 hours, the temperature dropped to 38 degrees. In the past few days, there has been phlegm in the throat, with no other symptoms. Sometimes, breathing becomes faster after exercise. What should I do about this?Doctor's answer:
The baby is experiencing symptoms such as a runny nose, fever, and phlegm in the throat, which may indicate acute upper respiratory tract infection, primarily caused by viral infections such as respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, and influenza virus. It is recommended to undergo a blood test and chest X-ray for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis. Drink plenty of hot water, wear appropriate clothing to prevent catching a cold, and consume more vegetable and fruit juices. Oral cold medicine, such as Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, can also be taken for treatment.
