Question
The 2.5-year-old baby has had a recurring fever for 2 days, feeling a sore throat with phlegm that can’t be coughed up. After taking fever-reducing and children’s cold medicine, the fever came back and the baby’s voice became hoarse. What should I do?
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, it is suspected that the baby has contracted a respiratory infection due to catching a cold. It is recommended to give the baby an oral dose of “Children’s Sore Throat Granules” to clear heat, relieve sore throat, and detoxify and activate blood circulation. This medication can be used to treat symptoms such as sore throat, cough with phlegm, and pharyngitis caused by lung heat. At the same time, attention should be paid to the baby’s rest, drinking plenty of water, maintaining a light diet, and appropriately increasing nutrition to ensure balanced nutrition, and avoid catching colds. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery!
