Patient's question:
For two days, I have had a cough, fever, clear nasal discharge, cough, headache, and chills. I am 5 years old. Test and examination results: No tests were conducted, and my tonsils are also swollen. I have taken cold medicine. I received an IV drip for mucus thinning and cough relief, but I still feel very severe after coming back. I cannot receive another IV drip. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The child has a cough with a fever, runny nose, and headache, which is caused by an upper respiratory infection. This is generally brought on by a viral infection. If the child has already taken the appropriate amount of medication today and is still feverish, you can give them oral fever-reducing medications such as ibuprofen suspension drops or ibuprofen granules.The above is advice for the question "What should I do if the cough and headache don't improve after taking medicine?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
