Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy, and he has recently been experiencing coughing and sneezing, but he has no fever. What should I do?
Answer
If your baby is sneezing without a fever, you can temporarily enhance their warmth, give them more plain water, and monitor their body temperature. If a fever develops, it may be due to an acute infection and you should seek medical attention at a hospital early on for relevant examinations and symptomatic treatment. If there are no other symptoms, it might be due to throat secretions causing irritation. Considering that infants have weak swallowing and coughing functions, they may not be able to clear the secretions in time.
