Question
What should be done if a ten-month-old baby has a tracheal infection and develops a fever?
Answer
If the baby is in good spirits, eating normally, and the fever is periodic, it is usually caused by a viral infection. Consider administering antiviral or cold treatments, and encourage plenty of fluid intake. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, it is not recommended to use fever-reducing medication. You can opt for oral traditional Chinese medicine for cooling and detoxification, such as Xiao’er Ji Qiao Qingre Granules, and use external cooling patches.
