Question

My child is 4.5 years old and has had a low-grade fever for 5 days. The fever is usually high during the day, dropping to around 38.7-39 degrees in the evening. Accompanying symptoms include cough with phlegm and nasal congestion with runny nose. How can I help?

Answer

Hello, based on the baby’s symptoms, it may be caused by influenza resulting from wind-cold or wind-heat common cold. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. At the same time, pay attention to observing the baby’s condition. If symptoms such as difficulty breathing or persistent high fever do not subside, seek medical attention immediately. Additionally, you can take some home care measures, such as giving the baby plenty of water and keeping the indoor air circulating, to alleviate symptoms.
