Question
My baby suddenly had a fever yesterday morning, rising from 37.3 to 38.2 this morning. The hospital blood test says it’s caused by a virus. Can you help me take a look at it?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby’s current condition is mainly due to a viral infection, leading to a common cold. For the current symptoms, it’s important to ensure adequate hydration and take appropriate cooling and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine for symptomatic treatment. Usually, it will clear up in a few days. When the fever is high, you can use some fever-reducing medication for symptomatic treatment. Pay close attention to any changes in the condition to prevent recurrence.
