Question
On April 12th, I had a bit of clear runny nose. Besides burping, I gave him some cold medicine, but it hasn’t improved after two days. Now, besides coughing, he’s quite uncomfortable. Previous treatment and effects: From the time I noticed it, we’ve been taking fever-relieving detox granules. What kind of help do I need? Please help me understand how to treat it, thank you.
Answer
Based on your child’s condition, the symptoms of avian influenza include fever, cough, headache, sore throat, and fatigue, and there must be a history of contact with birds. Therefore, your child’s likelihood of having the disease is low. If you want to rule it out, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a viral test. Currently, we consider your child to have a common flu. Focus on treatment and check with the hospital if necessary to see what kind of pathogen is causing the infection. Targeted medication will be more effective.
