Patient's question:
The baby has already started to have a stuffy nose, followed by coughing, and then fever every other day. The fever has been around 37.8°C. In the past few days, the baby has also had diarrhea, about 3 to 4 times a day. The doctor at the hospital prescribed some medicine and gave intravenous drips.Doctor's answer:
If the baby has recurrent high fever and cough hasn't improved, it is recommended to go to the local hospital for a blood test and chest X-ray to check for any abnormal sounds in the lungs. There have been many cases where respiratory infections have been split into intestinal inflammation recently. If the baby is eating, sleeping, playing, and urinating well, probiotics can be given to regulate the intestinal flora. It is advised to go to a reputable tertiary hospital's pediatric department for follow-up and treatment based on the doctor's thorough examination.
