Question
My child has been suffering from coughing and fever, with the condition worsening at night. We have given them cough medicine and anti-inflammatory medication, and fever-reducing medicine when they have a fever. The child often coughs without a known cause. Currently, we are using Lijunsan as the anti-inflammatory medication and ibuprofen as the fever-reducing medicine. We seek expert advice on what we should do? The child frequently has upper respiratory problems, how should we handle this?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby may have experienced a weakened immune system after catching a cold, leading to bacterial or viral invasion and upper respiratory infection, with symptoms including fever and cough. It is recommended to drink plenty of warm water, take pediatric ibuprofen for fever reduction, avoid spicy and other irritating foods, eat pears or drink sugar-cane pear water to achieve lung-moistening effects, and also consider nebulizer inhalation therapy. Maintain fresh indoor air and humidity, avoid smoke and dust that may affect the child, and pay attention to keeping warm to prevent another cold. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
