Treatment Suggestions for a 3-Year-Old Child with Recurring Fever and Cough

Question

My 3-year-old daughter has been suffering from recurring fever and cough. The fever-reducing injections have had no significant effect. Sometimes the cough is severe, accompanied by vomiting. This morning, she even vomited milk with blood strands, and her breathing seemed rapid. The parents are worried. There have been similar situations in the past, but there has never been a symptom of coughing up blood strands. I would like to inquire about the common causes of such conditions and the recommended treatment methods.

Answer

In most cases, such symptoms in children are likely due to inflammation caused by an upper respiratory infection. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications should be considered, along with expectorants likeMuxitan to aid in treatment. If the cough is severe, the child can inhale steam from warm water to relieve the symptoms. For the fever issue, immediate action should be taken to lower body temperature using methods such as cold compresses or sponge baths. This can be done by placing a damp towel with ice wrapped in it on the forehead, or by applying cold compresses to the head, neck, armpits, and inguinal areas. Also, diluted alcohol can be used to wipe the head, neck, armpits, chest and back, as well as the limbs to help cool down.
