Patient's question:
A three-year-old girl went to bed around 10:30 PM, and the first two to three hours were normal. She had previously had allergic cough with yellow phlegm that hadn’t fully recovered, and she was still taking medication. Her nasal discharge, which had cleared up, turned yellow again over the past two days. I felt it was quite cold today, so I turned on the heater to 28 degrees. Within ten to twenty minutes, she started to feel lethargic and needed to be held. She said she didn’t want to eat but wanted porridge. I cooked porridge and fed her two bowls, but she still felt lethargic and eventually fell asleep. Usually, at this time, she would still be playing. She didn’t have a fever, but she was sweating on her back. When I asked her where it hurt, she didn’t say anything. Last night, she kicked off her blanket, and her feet were very cold. She often needs to roll up her sleeves and pull up her pants legs because they feel cold. (After a mild carbon monoxide poisoning ten years ago, I avoid staying in sealed rooms while roasting a fire or using the heater, as it sometimes makes it hard to breathe and leaves me feeling weak. Could this have affected the child?), What should I do about this child?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is still necessary to consider the relationship with catching a cold. Pay attention to your body temperature to prevent overheating. There is no connection with carbon monoxide as before. For your child's condition, it should still be related to catching a cold and upper respiratory infection. It is essential to drink plenty of plain water, take medication diligently, and carefully observe any changes in body temperature. The above advice is for the question "A three-year-old girl was normal for the first two or three hours after going to bed at 10:10 PM." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
