Patient's question:
I have two children, a son and a daughter. My daughter has recently been sick. My child is 2.5 years old and has a cold, runny nose, and frequent coughing, but the temperature is just very low. Could it be that she caught a cold while taking a nap at night? Should this cause her temperature to be low in the morning? Is it because of a cold? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the current temperature condition of the child, the patient did not interpret it clearly. If the child has a more noticeable cough during this period, it is necessary to promptly visit the pediatric department of the hospital. This is likely to be a manifestation of respiratory infection, with symptoms of tracheitis. If the hospital's examination shows significant inflammation, it will be necessary to cooperate with some broad-spectrum antibiotics. In addition to symptomatic treatment with lung-cleansing and blood-cooling medications, it is important to drink more water, maintain a light diet, and avoid getting cold.
