Question
Last Saturday, I suspect the baby was stuck with a fish bone, crying when swallowing, then threw up once and stopped crying. Eating is normal. Last night, the temperature was low at 38.9 degrees. This morning, I went for a check-up, and the blood tests and C-reactive protein were normal. The doctor diagnosed it as a common cold. In the afternoon, the fever reached 39.2 degrees, and the hospital did not mention the fish bone issue. I want to know what relationship this fever and cough have with the fish bone?
Answer
Based on the information you provided, if the baby had no discomfort while eating the fish last week, it is not considered to be caused by a fish bone. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, you can take antipyretic medicine. Currently, it is the peak season for influenza, so you can take oseltamivir capsules for antiviral treatment and also use children’s Chai Gui antipyretic granules. This is my suggestion for the question “Is this fever and cough related to fish bones?” I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
