Patient's question:
I haven't been feeling well recently, and then I found out I was sick. Could you please tell me how to diagnose and treat repeated coughing, runny nose, sore throat, and fever?Doctor's answer:
Fever may be caused by a viral or bacterial infection, and it is necessary to go to the hospital for a complete blood count test. If there is an infection, antibiotics such as amoxicillin or ribavirin may be needed. For coughing, it depends on whether there is phlegm, the color and texture of the phlegm. It is best to conduct a symptom check and a complete blood count test before selecting medication.For fever, oral antipyretics or physical cooling methods can be used. If symptomatic medication is taken orally, a cold towel can be applied to the forehead, neck, armpits, etc. Stay warm and monitor whether the fever improves after sweating.
There are several treatment methods for children's fever, but since the symptoms of each patient are different, the treatment methods will also vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment once symptoms are noticed.
