Question
How to treat a child’s cough and fever?
Answer
Based on your description, the child has a recurrent cough and fever with temperatures ranging from 38.5 to 38.4 degrees. When the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, it is necessary to take anti-fever medication, use fever patches, apply physical cooling (cooling), and drink plenty of warm water. When the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, fever patches and physical cooling can be used, along with plenty of warm water consumption. If the fever persists, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a routine blood test to determine whether it is a viral or bacterial infection, and then treat accordingly based on the test results.
