Question
Why does my baby keep getting a cold and fever?
Answer
A baby’s recurring cold and fever can be caused by various factors, including bacterial or viral infections, and decreased immunity. Treatment typically includes fever-reducing medication, cold remedies, and symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs when necessary. However, fever can also lead to digestive system disturbances, causing loss of appetite, vomiting, and a decrease in the frequency of stools, which may become thick and sticky. The claim by netizens that taking anti-inflammatory medication leads to a decrease in stool frequency and stickiness is incorrect. Anti-inflammatory drugs are used to eliminate bacterial or viral infections and reduce inflammation. It is recommended to follow the treatment under a doctor’s guidance and to observe your baby’s condition changes.
