Question
My one-year-old baby accidentally caught a cold recently, not only coughing but also experiencing chills in the hands and feet. What’s going on?
Answer
A one-year-old baby experiencing cough and chills with a cold may be due to wind-cold. High fever can also cause chills, so it’s important to measure the body temperature and treat according to the examination results. If there’s a fever, use antipyretic medication along with symptomatic anti-inflammatory and cough-suppressing medicine. Treat based on the examination results and avoid blind medication. Don’t inhale harmful gases, especially for cough patients. Wishing the patient a quick recovery!
