Question
Is a child’s fever, cough, and runny nose a sign of respiratory infection?
Answer
Generally, it is necessary to have a doctor’s diagnosis to determine whether the infection is viral or bacterial. If it is a viral fever, there is no specific effective medication; you can take ribavirin granules or pediatric paracetamol amine granules for relief. Additionally, take good care of the baby to alleviate symptoms. Typically, after seven to ten days of treatment, the fever will subside. If it is caused by bacteria, antibiotic anti-inflammatory medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
