Question
My child is just a few months old. They got a cold after playing outside in the cold during the day, and they developed a fever when they came back. Just now, they had a sudden spasm. I would like to know what could be the reason for a baby’s persistent cough, fever, and low temperature?
Answer
Persistent cough, fever, and low temperature in babies may be due to an imperfect development of the central nervous system and an imbalance in the body’s temperature regulation center. Parents can use cold towels or ice packs to apply cold compresses to the baby’s forehead to lower the temperature and stabilize symptoms. If the baby’s condition does not improve, it may indicate a severe case of pneumonia that has recurred. It is advisable for parents to take their child to a regular hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis for timely treatment. In addition, maintaining regular work and rest , taking precautions against cold, eating light and soft foods, ensuring proper ventilation, and drinking plenty of hot water are also important daily considerations to ensure that the condition does not recur.
