Question
My son is three years old, and he’s been running a fever that hasn’t completely gone away. Now he’s also started to cough, and the symptoms have been ongoing for three days. The cough isn’t too severe, and I feel like there’s phlegm. I’m told it’s a bacterial infection that caused the cough. There was a high fever, but it was just a high fever of 37.4 degrees, and then it returned to normal on the third day. I am seeking assistance on how to deal with bacterial infections in children? How to handle the cough caused by it?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby’s condition may be due to a bacterial or mycoplasma infection, and it is necessary to go to the hospital for further blood tests, CRP, calcium-binding protein, and mycoplasma antibody tests to confirm. Then adjust the medication according to the test results. For coughing, you can take oral Etanercept or ambroxol oral liquid to thin and relieve cough, or take Chinese medicine such as Children’s Qingfei Oral Liquid or Children’s Lung Heat Cough Asthma Oral Liquid. At the same time, you can also undergo nebulizer treatment.
