Patient's question:
The baby got a cold a few days ago, with some symptoms like a cold, cough, and runny nose. They have been taking medicine, but suddenly developed a high fever today. I'm a bit worried and don't know if I should give them fever-reducing medicine. Can anyone tell me what I should do now?Doctor's answer:
Baby, there are just some symptoms of cough and runny nose, no other issues. You can give the baby some cold medicine. Also, if the baby has a fever again, it is generally considered related to an infection. It is recommended to improve the blood test to clarify what type of infection is causing the simple viral infection. Mainly, symptomatic treatment should be provided. Additionally, pay close attention to the baby's mental state, and you can give the baby more water.
