Question
My two-and-a-half-year-old baby has been coughing and suddenly feels cold at night. Should I be worried about flu?
Answer
Based on the parent’s description, the baby has developed symptoms of fever and chills after coughing, but these symptoms alone are not sufficient to diagnose flu. Further examinations, such as blood tests and C-reactive protein tests, can help determine the cause. It is recommended to take the baby to a regular hospital or private Chinese medicine hospital pediatric department for a follow-up visit and detailed examination to obtain an accurate diagnosis.
