Patient's question:
The baby is three years and ten months old. They had a hernia surgery over a month ago. Recently, they have had a slight fever of 38.5 degrees and a few white blisters in their throat. Is it a cold or a post-surgery complication?Doctor's answer:
After reading your description, the child had hernia surgery about half a month ago. Currently, there is a recurrence of fever, and white blisters in the throat. This suggests that the child may have an upper respiratory infection, such as herpangina. It is not caused by the surgery but by a viral infection. You can give the child more water, and if the fever is high, you can use ibuprofen suspension to reduce the fever. The above is the advice for the question "How to treat a three-year-old and ten-month-old child with a cold after hernia surgery?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
