Patient's question:
The baby is six and a half months old. She coughed occasionally the day after choking on water, without any other cold symptoms. Her blood test showed high white blood cell count. Did she inhale water into her trachea? How should she be treated?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 temperature does not need to be adjusted by adding 0.5 degrees—fever is indicated if it exceeds 37 degrees. Acetaminophen and Chlorpheniramine Granules can be used for treatment. Drink plenty of water, pay attention to keeping warm, and if necessary, intravenous fluids can be administered for treatment.
