Question
Can saline water treat a baby’s recurring fever?
Answer
Your situation might be caused by a cold, with symptoms including coughing, expectoration, decreased body temperature, and reduced appetite. This could be due to weakened immunity after catching a cold, possibly from bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections. It is recommended to take active treatment and preventive measures. Pay attention to keeping the baby warm and avoiding catching a cold, drink plenty of warm water. Before taking medication, it is best to go to the hospital for routine blood tests, sputum bacterial culture, drug sensitivity tests, and mycoplasma checks to determine which pathogen is causing the infection and which medications are sensitive to, then choose the appropriate medication for treatment, such as oral roxithromycin or antiviral oral liquid. You can also take oral saline water to correct electrolyte imbalances. I hope my explanation is helpful.
