Treatment Methods for a Three-Year-Old Child with Abdominal Pain and Fever

Question

The child is three years old and in their fourth day of symptoms. On the first day, the child had abdominal pain and fever, along with a slight cough. By the third day, the abdominal pain decreased, the fever occurred once, and the child no longer had abdominal pain or fever. The coughing subsided, but there was a sensation of phlegm in the throat. The child prefers to lie down rather than sleep in bed and has been feeling dizzy, with no appetite.

Answer

Based on your description, the child’s symptoms seem to be centered around coughing, which may indicate a condition such as bronchitis or pneumonia. It is recommended to have a pediatrician examine the child and conduct further tests to improve the diagnosis before guiding medication treatment. Currently, we are unable to examine the child ourselves and do not have detailed examination results to refer to, so it is difficult to accurately determine the specific condition based solely on the symptoms. It is suggested that you take your child to a local hospital’s pediatric department for a follow-up consultation, where a doctor can conduct an examination and arrange for further detailed tests before guiding on the next steps of medication treatment. It is also appropriate to ensure your child drinks plenty of water in recent days.
