Patient's question:
Today, while eating dinner at a friend's house, I saw the child coughing continuously. The friend told me that the child has been like this for six days. Every time the child falls asleep at night, it starts to have a fever after a while. During the day, the child doesn't have a fever, but the coughing is severe. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Cough accompanied by fever is a relatively common condition caused by respiratory tract inflammation. It is recommended that you take antibiotics and fever-reducing medications under the guidance of a doctor, along with pulmonary clearing medications for treatment. During this period, avoid getting cold and drink plenty of warm water to enhance metabolism. In terms of diet, avoid consuming excessive greasy or irritating foods, and do not eat overly cold foods to alleviate symptoms. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
