Patient's question:
At eight months old, the baby had a fever of over 38 degrees for the first two nights, but didn't have a fever during the day. The baby had a runny nose, and by the third day, started coughing. By the fourth day, the coughing became frequent. A urine test showed no inflammation, but is it possible to get pneumonia?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it's best to take a chest X-ray to check. Go to the local hospital for an in-person consultation and listen to see if there are any rales in the lungs. If there's inflammation in the lungs, it's not serious. You can take oral Qingkailing, Xia'erjuegan, and other heat-clearing and detoxifying medications like cephalexin. If there's no improvement after three days or if the symptoms gradually worsen, seek follow-up care promptly.This is the advice for the question "An 8-month-old baby has a fever of over 38 degrees for the first two nights." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
