Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, I'm very anxious. I'd like to ask, a few days ago, I gave the baby a bath at home. It might be because the bathroom was quite cool, and the baby caught a cold. Now the baby has started hiccuping and sneezing. Since the child is young, we thought it would be better not to give medicine at first and just gave the baby more hot water. But in the last two days, the baby has started coughing. What medicine should we use?Doctor's answer:
Now the weather is quite cold, and if the indoor temperature is too low, it's easy to bring on a child's cold. First, measure the child's temperature to see if it's high. If the temperature is within 38.5 degrees, let them drink more water, take some antiviral cold medicine, and have some lung-purifying syrup three times a day. It's essential to make sure they drink plenty of water to enhance the metabolism of the virus. Coughing is a protective reflex, so observe the condition closely. If low fever reappears, medication should be taken to reduce the temperature.
