Patient's question:
The baby is two years old. A few days ago, they vomited for half the night, then had small injections and had diarrhea for another half night. In between, they had a fever of 37.8 degrees and received small injections for three days. For almost the entire morning, they cried. After crying during their nap, they woke up with their eyes rolling back and no breath in just two minutes. Now, they have started coughing, accompanied by dry heaves. They cough more severely before and after naps. Currently, they are taking cough medicine. How many days does it usually take to recover?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described above, your consideration of symptoms caused by a cold seems a bit severe. It is recommended to go to the hospital to check whether it is a bacterial infection or a viral infection for targeted treatment. It may take a few days to fully recover, which depends on the baby's constitution and the severity of the illness. Later, pay attention to proper care, get more rest, and give the baby more water, which is beneficial for recovery and overall health.
