Patient's question:
The baby is now 6 months and 15 days old. She has a cough with phlegm and fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius at night. What should I do now? Is there any way to get better? Thank youDoctor's answer:
I am a doctor from FastAskDoc, and I am very happy to help you solve your doubts. Based on your description, the baby is now six months old with symptoms of fever, cough, and phlegm. I don't know how many days the fever has lasted. Is it persistent? Have you been using any medication? If the low-grade fever does not subside within three days, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a blood test and a chest X-ray for further examination. After a clear diagnosis is made, medication can be prescribed accordingly. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
