Patient's question:
Had a fever and runny nose for a long time, no high fever, a bit of cough. Previously had bronchitis. Recently, he has been napping a lot, averaging over 17 hours of sleep per day, and often cries during naps.Treatment history and effectiveness: The baby is prone to fever and has had severe runny nose recently. A few days ago, he took Aichang for two days, but it had no effect. The baby does not cooperate with taking medicine and vomits every time, so we stopped giving it. He is also taking Calcium Gluconate Oral Solution and AD drops. I am taking calcium pills as well (breastfeeding for about 20 days). Due to severe calcium deficiency in the baby, I am seeking help.
How can I help: Hello, what are the reasons for the baby's poor appetite and how to deal with his tendency to fever?
Doctor's answer:
If the child only has a runny nose without other symptoms, it is likely caused by a stomachache. If accompanied by symptoms like coughing or fever, then it is a fever.Generally, if the runny nose is yellow, it is recommended to take cold medicine that targets wind-heat. You should take your child to the hospital for a trace element test. Once the results are available, you will know what type of fever it is, and then you can take medication accordingly.
Make sure to pay attention to giving your child more water and fruits.
