Around 10 days of fever; got the injection.
; Cough and cold at 4 months, still not fully recovered.
What kind of help is needed: What illness does the child have? The child is still breastfeeding, what should the mother pay attention to in diet?

Doctor's answer:

Roseola, most commonly caused by a viral infection, occurs after a high fever. Besides appearing red spots all over the body, there are usually no other symptoms. At this time, pay attention to giving the baby more fluids to digest, and maintain a light diet, avoiding extremely cold and spicy foods. If the baby has itchy symptoms, you can give oral loratadine oral solution appropriately. Generally, it will recover completely within 3 days. If breastfeeding, the mother should maintain a light diet and avoid spicy foods that are easy to cause inflammation.
