What is the reason for the baby's runny nose and unstable body temperature?

Patient's question:

Recently, my baby has been constantly having a runny nose; sneezing; unstable body temperature, ranging from a low of 36.7°C to a high of 37.3°C. Treatment history and effectiveness: taken some medicine. What kind of help do you want: how to change this situation?

Doctor's answer:

First, pay attention to the child's body temperature at this age. If it's not higher than 37.5 degrees, it's not a fever. Because the child is young and growing rapidly, their basal metabolic rate is high, which leads to a decrease in basal body temperature. At the same time, based on the current symptoms alone, it's not considered a cold, so it's not recommended to give the child the oral medication you mentioned for treatment. In daily life, pay attention to keeping the child warm.
