Doctor's answer:
Many parents are very anxious when their children get a cold. As soon as they go to the hospital, they are advised to receive intravenous fluids and various high-end antibiotics. Fever is divided into two types: viral fever and bacterial fever. Most cases in the early stages are viral infections, with normal blood counts. For viral fever, antibiotics have no effect at all. High fever is the body's resistance to the virus. Except for patients with confirmed severe pneumonia and high blood counts, it is advisable to provide fever reduction treatment and use antibiotics, but for those with a temperature not exceeding 38℃ and normal blood counts, it is best to avoid intravenous fluids.
