Patient's question:
My child is quite young, but recently, they haven't recovered from a cold and are still coughing. This makes me very worried. They are also continuously running a fever, so as parents, we are both very anxious. Therefore, we would like to consult a doctor and ask how to handle a persistent cold, cough, and fever.Doctor's answer:
Your child is quite young, and they have recently experienced a cold again, along with symptoms like coughing and recurring fever. It is recommended to take over-the-counter cold medicine orally for treatment. If high fever occurs again, you can use fever-reducing patches for external application. If low fever appears, with a temperature above 38.5°C, it is important to use fever-reducing medication promptly. Drinking plenty of water and maintaining a light diet are also highly recommended.
