Patient's question:
The baby is 1.5 years old. On the 19th, it was diagnosed with EB virus infection and stayed in the hospital for a week to recover. After going home, the baby is doing well. On the 28th, the baby had a temperature of 37.5°C and a cough. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
Hello: I believe your baby has an upper respiratory infection caused by a weakened immune system, with clinical symptoms such as high fever, coughing, and phlegm.Advice: I recommend giving your baby oral azithromycin and ambroxol tablets, encouraging them to drink plenty of warm water. If the temperature does not exceed 38°C, there is no need to take fever-reducing medication. Maintain a light and easily digestible diet, avoiding extremely cold, hard, or spicy foods. Eating pears or drinking pear soup sweetened with rock sugar is beneficial, as pears have the effects of moistening the lungs and clearing phlegm. You can also use a nebulizer. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding catching a cold to prevent the fever from worsening.
I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
