Patient's question:
A two-year-old baby has a fever, cough, stuffy nose, itchy nose, runny white nose, mild hiccups, mouth ulcers, and a sore throat. Is this a upper respiratory infection? How long will it take to recover?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of your child's condition, this is caused by an upper respiratory infection. If your child has a fever with a temperature above 38.5°C during this period, you should give them fever-reducing granules. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, you can use physical cooling methods. You can take heat-clearing and detoxifying medications, drink plenty of water, be careful not to catch a cold, and ensure the room is frequently ventilated. It's also best to keep your child away from crowded public places to avoid cross-infection.
