Question
My baby has been coughing for two days and also has intermittent low fever, with the highest temperature reaching 37.5 degrees. We have taken them to see a doctor and have been prescribed medication. However, the temperature rose to 38.6 degrees at night, and after taking the fever-reducing medicine, it slightly decreased. Can we take the other medications prescribed by the doctor at the same time?
Answer
If your baby has a cold with symptoms of fever and cough, you can take the prescribed medication as directed by the doctor. You can also consider adding Xiao Chaihu Granules to clear heat. It is recommended to ensure adequate rest, drink plenty of warm water, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and closely monitor your baby’s mental state and reactions.
