Patient's question:
The child has a slightly high fever in the early morning, around 4:00, and has taken some fever-reducing medicine. The current temperature is around 37.8 degrees. There is a slight snoring sound in the throat and some clear nasal discharge. The child is easily startled when sleeping. How should the treatment be carried out?Doctor's answer:
Considering that the child likely has a respiratory infection, it is recommended to take Qingre Jiedu Koufuye (a traditional Chinese herbal medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying) and carefully monitor the symptoms. Encourage the child to drink plenty of water and include more fruits and vegetables in their diet for better nutrition. The child waking up easily during sleep may indicate a calcium deficiency. It is advisable to supplement with calcium and cod liver oil. If the symptoms do not improve significantly, it is recommended to seek medical attention for examination and treatment, which will help the condition recover more quickly.
