Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:But because he doesn't usually cough, the adults didn't pay attention.
In the past two or three months, he had pharyngitis and an upper respiratory infection. Just two or three days before his birthday, the upper respiratory infection had just improved. But at that time, the baby had clear nasal discharge, which flowed out quickly and could be wiped away.
I don't know what medicine I can give the baby now?
He is currently bright red on his cheeks and lips, and there are small papules around his mouth, mostly below the chin.
Also, regarding the baby's clothing, is it better to dress him in less or more?
The elders say it's better to dress him in more – after all, the baby has a cold.
But mothers of peers say it's better to dress him in less, saying that since he already has a fever, it's not good to overheat him.
Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Based on your description, the child's cough accompanied by wheezing is commonly seen in conditions such as bronchial asthma and chronic asthmatic bronchitis. The child's flushed appearance is due to fever, as the body needs to dissipate heat, leading to dilated capillaries and increased blood flow. The face has a rich supply of blood vessels, making this effect particularly noticeable. The small papules are a response to inflammation and may also be caused by taking salicylic acid. Cough with fever is more commonly associated with acute upper and lower respiratory tract infections and tuberculosis, though the latter is less likely, with the former being more probable.Advice: The medications you have taken, such as Amoxicillin granules and ibuprofen suspension, are all fever-reducing, pain-relieving, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Meloxicam and nabumetone have stronger fever-reducing effects. The child should wear more clothing to avoid catching another cold or experiencing a decline in immunity.
