Question

What should you do if your baby coughs after a fever?

Answer

If your baby coughs after a fever, first determine the baby’s age. If it’s a two-month-old baby experiencing a low-grade fever again, you can adopt physical cooling methods to restore normal body temperature, give your baby plenty of water, and usually no other treatment is needed. At the same time, closely monitor the temperature changes. If your baby has coughing symptoms, also observe for any bubble blowing and feeding conditions. If these symptoms occur, you should immediately take the baby to the hospital for a re-examination.
