Patient's question:
My daughter is now three years old. A few days ago, she suddenly got a cold without knowing what happened. She is very frail due to being born prematurely and is easily susceptible to infections. She had a high fever of 39°C, and after the fever subsided, she was diagnosed with acute tonsillitis. Now she keeps dry heaving, and I don’t know what to do.Doctor's answer:
After a child has a fever, they may develop acute pharyngitis, and currently, they are experiencing recurring nausea and dry coughing. This should be a gastrointestinal type of cold. After appearing with these symptoms, it is recommended to take medications that help alleviate nausea and dry coughing, while also using anti-inflammatory and cooling medications to treat the condition together. During this period, it is important to pay attention to preventing colds, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy, extremely cold, greasy, and irritating foods.
