Patient's question:
The baby is 19 months old and has had a fever for three days. The highest temperature reached 39.6. There is slight coughing with a little bit of phlegm. Red spots appeared around the mouth and on the neck again yesterday. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
How is the baby's condition? Is there any rash on the oral mucosa? Does the baby receive vaccinations on schedule? For example, the measles vaccine at eight months and the chickenpox vaccine at one year. It would be best if you could send a photo to see the condition of the rash. If the baby is in good spirits, there shouldn't be too many problems. However, it's important to be aware of potential conditions such as measles, scarlet fever, and Mycoplasma infection.The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my 19-month-old baby has a fever and cough?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
