Patient's question:
The baby has had a runny nose for several days. Today afternoon, the baby had a fever of 39 degrees. At around 6:30 PM, the baby took some fever-reducing medicine and the fever subsided. However, the baby kept crying until it went to sleep.Previous treatment and effectiveness: The baby was given Compound Zinc and Bismuth Granules and Amoxicillin Granules.
What kind of help is needed: Is the baby okay?
Doctor's answer:
A 9-month-old baby with a runny nose and fever is a clinical manifestation of upper respiratory infection. Fever is generally divided into three categories: low-grade fever (37.1-38°C), moderate fever (38.1-39°C), and high fever (39.1-40°C). Your baby has a fever of 39°C, so it is recommended to carefully monitor the baby's temperature. Generally, if the temperature is below 38.5°C, medication to reduce fever can be administered orally with antipyretic drugs.The above advice is for the question "A 9-month-old baby has had a runny nose for several days—should it be okay?" It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
