Patient's question:
The baby had a fever today. At noon, the temperature was 38.4°C, and by 7 PM, it had risen to 39.4°C. After taking fever-reducing medicine, the baby's spirits improved slightly. They ate dinner and even played for a while. However, by 9:30 PM, the fever returned. The baby's palms were cold, they had a runny nose, and they were coughing. They had also been coughing for a few days. But the day before yesterday, my older child started having a fever, went to the hospital, and got medicine. By noon today, the fever had already subsided, and their spirits were better. I suspect it was the older child who infected the baby.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you. The possibility of infection is relatively high, so I suggest taking your child to the hospital for a thorough examination. It is recommended to have your child checked at the hospital, including a blood test, and use medication based on the blood test results. I hope this will be helpful to you.
