Coughing and runny nose, starting yesterday, fever of over 39 degrees Celsius at night. What should I do?

Patient's question:

Coughing and runny nose. It started last night with a fever of over 39 degrees Celsius. My hands and feet are cold. At 10:00 this morning, it was 38.6 degrees, and in the afternoon, it was over 39 degrees. Taking ibuprofen orally has no effect. The child fell head last night. Before the fall, there was no fever. I wonder if the fever is related to the injury.

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, considering the baby's condition, symptoms of fever are generally caused by viral or bacterial infections. Considering the baby, there is a relatively high likelihood of a viral infection. It is recommended to maintain a positive mood and adopt good hygiene habits, as fever may also be directly related to falls. The above advice is for the question "Coughing and runny nose. Fever has been over 39 degrees Celsius at night since yesterday." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
