A six-month-old baby has a fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius with mild coughing. What should be done?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

A six-month-old baby has a fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius with mild coughing. First, reduce the fever, then alleviate the cough. I recommend giving the baby Tylenol or Panadol orally as soon as possible. If the fever does not subside within an hour, it will be necessary to administer fever-reducing medication via injection.
After the fever subsides, you can give the baby oral pediatric cough granules or Liangbei Pipa Gao. You can also mix and drink, which should help resolve the cough issue.
