Patient's question:
The child is now 52 days old. On the evening of January 12, we noticed a fever and took them to the hospital for a thorough examination for a viral cold. The fever persisted until 9 PM on the 13th, but it has since subsided, and everything is normal now. However, today they occasionally cough. Does it affect anything? Also, there's a finger that I don't know what the situation is. Can you check if there's a problem?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of the condition and the photo you uploaded of your child's right index finger, it appears that the nail bed of the right index finger is slightly peeling. However, this is not a serious issue. Please do not use your hands to scrape off this peeling skin. Parents can purchase some alcohol and sterile cotton swabs from a pharmacy outside to gently clean the nail bed of your child. This mainly serves to sterilize the area.According to your condition description, the key is that your child's viral cold has lasted for three days so far, and it should not have fully recovered yet. Please pay attention to any changes in your child's body temperature.
