Answer
Based on your description and the symptoms of your baby, it is likely that the fever is caused by catching a cold, accompanied by coughing symptoms. It is recommended to rest and avoid strenuous exercise, eat light meals, drink plenty of water. You can take small doses of Diphenhydramine for children and Antiviral Oral Liquid. Use physical methods to reduce fever when a fever occurs. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, you can consider taking drugs like Ibuprofen to reduce fever. Do you need to take your baby to the hospital? Why does repeated high fever occur? Is it related to the previous sores?
