Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby is three years old now and has a cold. It's a bit severe, especially at night. Sometimes, even when taking a nap, he doesn't want to sleep. Could you please advise on what to do in this situation? Is it necessary to go for intravenous drips?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described, I have the following suggestions: If the child's cough is mild and (irritating) and occurs at night, this could be a manifestation of respiratory infection caused by mycoplasma infection. It is often due to an increase in resistance during a cold. It is best to take the child to the pediatric department of the hospital for blood tests for routine mycoplasma antibodies and chest X-rays. According to the doctor's advice, this would be better. In terms of diet, it is essential to be light and avoid greasy foods.
