Question
My 2-year-old had a fever and was examined at the hospital, where it was diagnosed as influenza A, and many medications were prescribed. After taking the medication for 5 days, the fever is gone, but there’s a bit of coughing and they always sleep.
Answer
Based on your description, considering the current situation as a recurrence of influenza A, along with symptoms of cough and loss of appetite, it may be accompanied by bronchitis. In this case, it is recommended to bring your baby to the pediatric department of the hospital for a chest X-ray to diagnose the cause of the cough and excessive sleeping. If medication is needed, pay attention to timely adjustments in clothing, monitor dietary nutrition, drink plenty of water, and avoid fatigue.
