Patient's question:
Child is 6 years old, nose blocked last night. This morning, body temperature was 37 degrees. After a while, it was 36.5 degrees. Then after a while, it was 37.2 degrees. Then after a while, it was 36.6 degrees. What's going on? Thank you, doctor.Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,According to the symptoms you described, it is likely that your child is experiencing the initial stages of an upper respiratory infection. We recommend getting adequate rest, staying warm, and drinking plenty of fluids. If nasal congestion interferes with normal breathing, you can take over-the-counter cold medication.
The above advice is for the question, "Child is 6 years old, had nasal congestion last night, and measured a temperature of 37°C this morning, then 36°C after a while." We hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
