Question
What should be done when a child frequently has a cold and fever?
Answer
Frequent colds and fevers in babies could be due to bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections, or they might be related to weakened immunity. It is crucial to determine the cause. Parents are advised to take their child to the hospital for routine blood tests and other checks to understand any abnormalities in blood counts, thereby proceeding with targeted treatment. In some cases, intravenous treatment may be necessary. Since children tend to have weaker constitutions, parents should take colds and other diseases seriously and not take them lightly.
