Patient's question:
Recently, the weather has changed suddenly, and because of training, I couldn't add clothes for the child in time. As a result, the baby caught a cold and fever. Over the past two days, he has been taking cold medicine, but the son has a severe cough, especially when he naps in the afternoon. For this, I would like to ask how to deal with the child's cold and cough?Doctor's answer:
If the child's cough is quite noticeable, simply using cold medicine alone is not sufficient. This is because during a cold, the immune system is weakened, leading to respiratory infections caused by bacterial or viral infections, which require the use of many antibiotics for treatment. It is best to first take the child to the pediatric department of a hospital for tests such as a blood test to make a diagnosis, and then follow the doctor's advice for treatment. Pay attention to giving the child plenty of water, a light diet, and preventing them from catching a cold.
