Patient's question:
Doctor, my child has been having a fever starting in the afternoon these last two days, and it's always around 37 degrees plus. I gave him cold medicine, but his symptoms haven't improved. He keeps saying he feels dizzy. I just want to ask, is this just a cold?Doctor's answer:
Your condition exhibits many symptoms commonly associated with a cold. It is important to promptly identify the root cause of your illness and seek timely treatment based on your specific situation. Here are some recommendations:If the child does not show any other symptoms beyond recurring fever, the possibility of inflammation is relatively high, often caused by microbial infections such as bacteria, viruses, or mycoplasma. It is recommended to promptly address the cold symptoms by administering medication, such as Panadol Yellow, which can help alleviate the symptoms.
Additionally, it is advised to pay attention to maintaining a regular sleep schedule and a healthy lifestyle, avoiding overexertion and establishing a consistent routine. Always prioritize hygiene and cleanliness.
