Patient's question:
I am also not sure what's going on. My child has a slight cough, and he is only eight years old now. I'm not very willing to give him medicine or anything, for fear of affecting him. I want to know why children with cough and phlegm have a fever at night? Can any mom explain this?Doctor's answer:
The current condition of the child is likely to be respiratory inflammation. It is recommended to give the child more fluids and a light diet for easy replenishment. If the child's symptoms are not severe, oral medication can be taken at home, such as pediatric lung-cleaning medications like Jinzhen Oral Liquid or Baile Granules. It is also advised to monitor the child's temperature. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, pediatric fever-reducing medication should be used in conjunction. If the child has frequent coughing and persistent high fever, further examination at the hospital is recommended.
