Patient's question:
The child started fevering at 8:30 last night with a temperature of 38.8°C. They took fever-reducing medicine but vomited. The temperature remained at 38.5°C all night. At 10:00 this morning after breakfast, the temperature rose to 39°C. After lunch, they took fever-reducing medicine, as well as azithromycin and pediatric cough and asthma granules. Every 4 hours throughout the day, they have taken fever-reducing medicine, but it is still at 38.7°C now. The symptoms include fever, cough (no phlegm), and a slight runny nose. Is this medication appropriate for the symptoms? How long will the fever last? Will it harm the baby's body?Doctor's answer:
If it's a mild cough, you can take azithromycin at a dose of 10 mg per kilogram of body weight, once a day. Take azithromycin for three days. If there is no improvement or if the cough gradually subsides, go to the local hospital for an in-person consultation to check for any abnormal sounds in the lungs. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my child has frequent fever, cough, and runny nose?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
