Patient's question:
My baby has a slight cough and a fever of 38.3. We have taken medicine, and it has been two days. It seems to be having no effect. The fever has subsided a bit, but there is some yellow nasal discharge. What should we do now?Past treatment history and effectiveness: None.
Expected help: What medicine should we buy?
Doctor's answer:
The child might have a bacterial infection. Don't hurry. Antibiotics take two or three days to take effect. If the temperature is too high, take some fever-reducing medicine. If it's not too high, just use warm water to wipe their forehead and armpits. Also, make sure the child drinks more warm water, which will also help them reduce fever. Actually, there are many reasons that can cause a child to have a fever. As a parent, you must watch the child closely, take good care of them, and avoid them catching a cold.
