Question
My baby is six months old and has a temperature of 38.3 degrees Celsius, accompanied by cough and difficulty breathing. Is it possible that these symptoms are caused by being overdressed? I haven’t given her any treatment yet. What medication should I give her?
Answer
These symptoms are typically caused by an upper respiratory infection, which often leads to cough, phlegm, and runny nose. It is recommended to first ensure adequate rest, consume light, mild, and easy-to-digest foods, maintain a comfortable mood, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy foods. Pay attention to your baby’s temperature changes, and if there is discomfort, seek medical attention for your baby promptly without delay.
