Question
My child is 9 months old and is not feverish anymore. Can they still take the Acetaminophen Oral Solution? (Three times a day) They started sneezing and coughing (no phlegm) on the afternoon of the 18th, with occasional fever. Now they are just sneezing and coughing (with phlegm). Previous treatment and effects: The current medication includes Cefixime Dry Suspension, Children’s Lung Heat Cough and Wheezing Granules, and Acetaminophen Oral Solution.
Answer
Your baby’s condition is likely due to a cold, which often results in symptoms like fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, and muscle aches after the body’s resistance is reduced due to cold exposure, allowing viruses, mycoplasmas, or bacteria to enter the body. Acetaminophen Oral Solution contains a pain reliever and fever reducer. Since your baby no longer has a fever, there’s no need to focus on taking it. I suggest giving them Children’s Paracetamol Yellow Amine Granules, Ribavirin Granules, Pipay Qingfei Dew, and Cefixime Dry Suspension. Ensure they drink plenty of warm water, take precautions against colds, adjust clothing according to weather changes to prevent catching a cold, and provide easy-to-digest food for your baby.
