Question

An eight-month-old baby does not have a fever during the day but suddenly develops a high fever up to 40 degrees at night. The baby has never been vaccinated and has not taken any medication. What could be the cause?

Answer

It may be bronchitis. It is recommended to undergo a chest X-ray or perspective examination for diagnosis. For treatment, you can take Azithromycin or Cefaclor capsules orally. If the symptoms are severe, intravenous antibiotic treatment may be required. For thick sputum, you can takeMuxitan or Compound Liquorice Oral Solution, and drink plenty of plain water. At the same time, you can also use nebulizer inhalation therapy. Parents should cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and pay attention to their child’s diet and hygiene, avoiding picky eating and ensuring a balanced diet.
