Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Please advise on how to handle a baby with a fever of 38.7°C.Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, it usually involves symptoms such as coughing, phlegm production, and fever. The measured temperature does not need to be adjusted by 0.5 degrees—anything above 37 degrees is considered a fever. You can use pediatric paracetamol and chuanxindan granules for treatment. Drink plenty of water and pay attention to keeping warm. If necessary, intravenous fluids can be used for treatment.There are many causes that can lead to respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should be mindful not to let their child develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
