Question
How should one handle the situation of a 3.5-year-old child experiencing recurring fever?
Answer
Considering the possibility of a cold, which often presents with symptoms like coughing, sputum production, and fever, treatment with pediatric paracetamol and chlorphenamine granules can be effective. It’s important to encourage the child to drink plenty of water, maintain warmth, and, if necessary, administer intravenous fluids for treatment. If the child is diagnosed with a pediatric respiratory system condition, parents should cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and cultivate good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
