Question
There have been a lot of colds outside recently. My baby currently: Sometimes when touching the throat, there’s a dry cough, and sometimes when crying, some nasal mucus comes out. The temperature is okay, occasionally up by 0.2-0.3 degrees (usually 36.5 degrees, these days it feels a bit higher when touched, I estimate it won’t exceed 37.3 degrees). Should I give my baby medicine? How should I take care of her? Thank you.
Answer
Considering it could be tonsillitis. It’s best to undergo anti-inflammatory treatment when inflammation is apparent, such as lozenges. In severe cases, intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment may be necessary. And after improvement, the treatment should be continued for a certain period of time; otherwise, it’s more likely to recur frequently. In everyday life, always try to speak less! Be cautious to prevent catching a cold. I recommend you strictly avoid spicy foods. The key is to drink plenty of water regularly. You can drink water infused with chrysanthemum and silverflower; the key is to adjust your diet to prevent illness from occurring. This is crucial.
