Question
My child was given intravenous fluids two weeks ago, and started running a high fever of 38.5 degrees last night, accompanied by coughing and hiccups. Although the fever has subsided, the cough is still frequent. What should I do?
Answer
Your child’s condition is recovering, and although the fever has gone down, it takes time to fully recover. It’s recommended to be patient in caring for your child and to follow the doctor’s instructions regarding medication.
