Question
Why does my baby have a high fever of 40 degrees at night when they are normally fine during the day?
Answer
A baby’s nighttime high fever might be caused by bronchitis. It is recommended to undergo a chest X-ray or perspective for diagnosis. Treatment can include using azithromycin or cefaclor capsules, and in severe cases, intravenous antibiotic administration may be necessary. For thick phlegm, consider usingMuxitan or Compound Licorice Oral Solution, and encourage drinking plenty of plain water. Nebulizer inhalation therapy can also be combined. Parents should cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, and pay attention to reducing the child’s stress, fostering good hygiene habits. At the same time, pay attention to a balanced diet for the child and avoid picky eating.
