Patient's question:
Baby is six and a half months old. She coughed occasionally the day after choking on water, without other cold symptoms. Blood tests showed high blood cell count. Did she inhale water into her trachea? How should she be treated with medication?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, it is common to have symptoms such as coughing, phlegm production, and fever. The measured body temperature does not need to be adjusted by adding 0.5 degrees; if it exceeds 37 degrees, it is considered a fever. You can use infant paracetamol and chuanxindan tablets for treatment. Drink plenty of warm water, and pay attention to keeping warm. If necessary, intravenous fluids can be used for treatment.
