Patient's question:
My baby is ten months old and has had a fever for three days with coughing. The highest temperature reached 39.5 degrees Celsius. We have been receiving intravenous saline for three days. The doctor said it's bronchitis and a viral cold. How long will it take to recover?Doctor's answer:
The repeated fever in the baby is a symptom of an upper respiratory infection. If it persists for a long time, it is necessary to conduct detailed examinations such as a blood test. The principle of treatment is anti-inflammatory and heat-clearing and detoxification therapy. Medications can be chosen from Amoxicillin Clavulanate Potassium Granules and Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, among others. If the oral medication does not effectively control the fever, timely intravenous fluid treatment is still required. The baby should rest, drink more water, and maintain a light diet.
