Patient's question:
Daughter is 1 year and 4 months old. She has had low-grade fever for 3 consecutive days, ranging between 37.1-37.4°C. She is eating, playing, and sleeping normally. Blood test results show normal white blood cell count. What could be the reason? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, it is preliminarily considered to be caused by an upper respiratory infection. This is often due to bacterial or viral infections, leading to fever accompanied by congestion, redness, and swelling in the throat, which triggers coughing. Medications such as Xiao'er Shuangjin Oral Liquid, which clear heat and resolve toxicity, and antibiotics like Cefixime Granules should be used for treatment. It is recommended to give the baby more water appropriately to enhance the body's metabolic function, pay attention to keeping warm, avoid getting cold, and if breastfeeding, the mother should follow a light and easily digestible diet. All of these can help the baby recover more quickly.
