Question
The baby received the vaccine in the afternoon and started to have a fever the next morning. After applying a fever-reducing patch, they recovered from the fever on the third day. However, they started to have a runny nose and cough on the fourth day. I would like to ask how to handle these symptoms?
Answer
Based on the information provided, the baby may have experienced fever symptoms after receiving the vaccine, which then developed into an upper respiratory infection, accompanied by a runny nose and cough. Although infant paracetamol was tried, the symptoms did not seem to improve. It is suggested to consider taking oral roxithromycin and antiviral oral liquid, and to drink more warm water. Additionally, you can give them Good Baby Cold Granules and Children’s Lung Clearing Tablets. In terms of diet, choose light and easy-to-digest foods and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Moreover, eating pears or drinking honey pear water can help moisten and clear the lungs. It is also important to keep warm and prevent catching a cold again, which could worsen the symptoms.
