Question

A two-year-old child has been experiencing a fever for the past few days, but no other symptoms. The blood routine test results show a viral infection, and the fever has subsided after three days. However, the child has recently started coughing, and after administering cough medicine, is it still necessary to take antibiotics?

It is recommended to give the child plenty of fluids, consume fruits and vegetables, adopt a light diet, and use an ammonium bromide solution for oral administration or perform nebulization therapy to cool the lungs and blood, and complement with anti-inflammatory treatment.
