Patient's question:
I am a 63-year-old woman who takes care of children. When I noticed that the child was not feeling well, I asked: Why does a baby with a cold and runny nose have a fever?Doctor's answer:
Infants are prone to upper respiratory tract infection symptoms such as runny nose and fever when exposed to cold due to their poor respiratory mucosal barrier function. The body temperature regulation center is underdeveloped, leading to a drop in body temperature and frequent recurrence. Patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
