Question
The baby started having a fever on Thursday afternoon last week, with the body temperature consistently below 38.5 degrees, a persistent low fever. Blood tests showed a decrease in the percentage of eosinophils and basophils, as well as a decrease in hemoglobin content and concentration. A doctor at Guangshan County Beiguan Hospital diagnosed it as viral infection. After the fever, there were ulcers in the mouth and a small blister on the lips. What should I do?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, the child may have caught a cold, which often includes symptoms such as coughing, expectoration, and fever. A body temperature above 37 degrees is considered a fever. It is recommended to treat with pediatric paracetamol and chlorphenamine granules, drink plenty of water, and stay warm. If the situation does not improve, intravenous therapy may be necessary. There are many reasons for respiratory system diseases in children. If the child is diagnosed, parents should cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a reasonable diet and avoid consuming irritating and cold foods.
