Question
What should I do if my child coughs with phlegm and has a fever?
Answer
Based on your description, if your child is experiencing cough with phlegm and fever, it is likely caused by bronchitis. It is recommended to give your child anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, if the child’s body temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical methods can be used to lower the temperature; if above 38.5 degrees, fever-reducing medication should be administered. It is suggested to take your child to the hospital for a routine blood test to adjust medication based on the test results.
