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. He took Aichang for two consecutive days with no significant effect. The baby is very uncooperative with medication, vomiting and experiencing pain whenever he takes it, so we stopped giving him the medicine. He is also taking Gluconate Calcium Oral Solution and AD drops, and 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 is the reason for the baby's poor appetite and how can I address his frequent fever?
Doctor's answer:
If the child only has a runny nose without other symptoms, it should be caused by a stomachache. If accompanied by symptoms like cough or fever, then it is a fever.Generally, if the runny nose is yellow, it's best to take cold medicine that targets wind-heat. You should take the child to the hospital for a trace element test. Once the results are available, you'll know what type of fever it is and can then use medication that matches the symptoms.
Make sure to pay attention to giving the child more water and more fruits.
The above is advice for the question "Baby has been picky about food and runny nose recently." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
