Patient's question:
I would like to ask, my daughter is 14 months old. She had a high fever of 38.5°C once, and after taking fever-reducing medicine, the fever went down but didn't completely subside. However, she started having clear nasal discharge and coughing. Is it the flu now? I bought Snake Gland and Fritillaria Fluid, Antiviral Oral Liquid, and Children's Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine. I have been giving her these, but she just started taking them yesterday. This morning, it seems her cough has become more severe, with a sound like "kuku." Should I take her to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
The baby is experiencing the symptoms mentioned above again, mainly due to bronchitis caused by a cold, so timely treatment is necessary. If there is a lot of coughing, you can use pediatric expectorant and cough syrup, while also using pediatric paracetamol, amoxicillin, and clavulanate potassium granules, which will help in a speedy recovery. The above advice is for the question "Is my daughter's 1 year and 4 months fever, cough, and runny nose the flu?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
