Question
Lately, my boss has said I’m not looking well, affecting my work performance. In reality, I don’t want that either. I can’t sleep at night, sometimes I feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets severe, I’m worried it might affect my health and work. By the way, what should I do when my baby has a cold and can’t cough up phlegm?
Answer
Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, coughing, and phlegm are common symptoms. The body temperature measured does not need to be increased by 0.5 degrees; if it exceeds 37 degrees, it is considered a fever. You can use children’s paracetamol and chlorphenamine granules for treatment, drink plenty of water, and it’s very important to keep warm. In necessary cases, intravenous treatment can be adopted. Hello, according to your description, this situation suggests that if a child has a cold and fever, it is essential to stick to liquid and semi-liquid diets. It is recommended to eat milk, rice porridge, mung bean soup, fresh fruit juice, etc.
