Is it necessary to take anti-inflammatory medication for a two-year-old baby with a fever and cough?

Patient's question:

The baby is two years old. A few days ago, he had a fever without other symptoms. A blood test indicated a viral infection. The fever lasted for three days and has now subsided. Recently, he has started coughing. Should he still take anti-inflammatory medication in addition to the cough medicine?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the baby's condition is likely a respiratory infection caused by a cold. It is recommended to give the baby more water, more fruits and vegetables, light diet, and take some ambroxol hydrochloride oral solution to clear the lungs and cool the blood. Coordinate with it to do a nebulization for throat moistening and anti-inflammatory. The above is the advice for the question "At two years old, should the baby still take anti-inflammatory medicine for fever and cough?" I hope it helps you, and wish you health!
