Patient's question:
The baby is 42 days old and has a stuffy nose and phlegm in the throat; occasional coughing; body temperature is 37.6°C; the weather is too cold, and I'm afraid the baby's condition will worsen if we go out; I now want to give the baby some medicine. The baby sleeps well during the day, but at night, it keeps crying.History of treatment and effectiveness: Given some fever-reducing granules.
What kind of help do you need: I want to know what kind of medicine the baby can take?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child's condition is a throat infection caused by a cold, which requires antibiotic treatment. For young children with fever, physical cooling is usually sufficient, and there is no need to take fever-reducing medication. Drink plenty of water and avoid over-wrapping the child. It is recommended that when the child is taking antibiotics, they should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Generally, they should be taken for 7 days, and then for an additional 3 days after the symptoms disappear to prevent them from recurring.
