Question
The baby is 1.5 years old and was diagnosed with EBV infection on the 19th. After a week of hospitalization, the baby recovered and returned home in good condition. On the 28th, the baby’s body temperature was 37.5 degrees Celsius, accompanied by coughing. What should be done?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, the baby may have developed an upper respiratory tract infection due to incomplete recovery of energy, presenting symptoms such as fever and cough. It is recommended to give the baby oral roxithromycin and ambroxol tablets, drink plenty of warm water, and if the body temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius, you may not need to take antipyretic medication. The diet should be light and easy to digest, avoiding cold, hard, or spicy foods. Eating pears or drinking sugar-cane pear water can help moisten and clear the lungs. Consider also doing nebulizer inhalation therapy and ensure warmth to prevent the condition from worsening due to catching a cold. I hope my suggestions are helpful to you.
