Patient's question:
The child coughed and went to the hospital. The doctor prescribed medication. By the third day, they had started running a nose and tears, with a temperature of 37.5. Today, they went for a thorough check-up, including blood tests and X-rays, and everything was fine. They returned home, but after a while, they started to have a fever of 38.5. Should they go to the hospital again?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the child has a cough, fever, and a runny nose, which is still considered a upper respiratory infection. Given the child's current condition, it is likely that the infection is caused by a virus. You can give the child some Lianfen Huangna Granules and Oseltamivir Granules. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, you can give some Ibuprofen Suspension to reduce fever. For low-grade fever, you can apply a fever-reducing patch and drink more water. The above is the advice for the question "Child has a cough and the doctor prescribed medicine at the hospital." I hope it helps you. Wish you health!
