Question
An 8.5-year-old child experienced swelling of the throat lymph nodes one week ago, without taking medication. Yesterday, they showed symptoms of decreased appetite, a low fever of 37.3 degrees Celsius, headache, and slight cough. After taking cold medicine, they experienced nausea and decreased appetite today. What are these symptoms? Thank you.

At the same time, pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, avoid spicy food, and drink plenty of water to promote metabolism. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
