How to deal with a 16-year-old child with a cold and a fever of 39 degrees Celsius?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Early symptoms of a cold are commonly characterized by nasal congestion, sore throat, and fever. Subsequently, bronchial infection often occurs, and in severe cases, lung infection may develop. It is recommended to visit a hospital for blood tests and chest X-ray examinations to determine whether it is bacterial or viral. Additionally, a chest X-ray can help identify whether there is lung infection.
