Patient's question:
The baby had phlegm in his throat yesterday morning and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. They were given antiviral oral liquid and lung-purifying syrup. However, this morning, the fever has already reached 37.7°C and has been high. I have wiped him with warm water many times, but what should I do now? It seems like he is coughing much more severely today.Doctor's answer:
Based on the condition and symptoms of the child you mentioned, they have also been to the hospital for a thorough examination and have been prescribed medication. In that case, it would be a good idea to start symptomatic treatment to see how effective it is. It has been noticed that the cough symptoms have improved today, which may be related to the fact that it's still too early after starting the medication for the condition to be fully suppressed. Therefore, it's best to focus on symptomatic treatment for now. Additionally, it's also recommended to drink more water, maintain a light diet, and pay close attention to rest. Currently, there is a recurrence of high fever, and implementing physical cooling methods can be very helpful.
