Patient's question:
Baby? The past two days, I felt phlegm in my throat with occasional coughing, but couldn't cough it up. Yesterday during the day, I had a cough with a runny nose, and tonight, the baby cried non-stop. This morning, the temperature was 38.5 degrees. The child has been lacking energy. What should I do? Thank you!Medical history and treatment effectiveness: None.
Kind of help needed: How should this situation be resolved?
Doctor's answer:
The causes of fever in children are quite numerous, and clinical diagnosis can be divided into infectious and non-infectious categories, with infectious causes being more common. Fever, for example, is one of the most common causes. For fever, it is essential to first identify the underlying cause. Recommendations: address the cause accordingly. High temperatures can easily lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is also necessary to control the body temperature. The main methods for reducing temperature are medication and physical cooling. Specific medications should ideally be used under the guidance of a doctor.
