Patient's question:
The baby is 11 months old and has been feeling unwell recently. It was only then that we found out they were sick. Could you please advise on how to alleviate symptoms of a viral infection, such as fever, cough, and diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
If it is a spitting-like dry cough, severe dry cough, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, you should still take fever-reducing medication. Nausea and vomiting 3-5 times are considered symptomatic nausea and vomiting caused by a fever. If the child is alert and urination is normal, special treatment may not be necessary. It is important to confirm that these solutions are due to a viral infection. If the child has a fever for less than 72 hours, it is advisable to go to the hospital for a check-up. Probiotics are acceptable.
