Question
An infant suddenly developed nasal congestion after their nap, and their breathing sounds became very loud, with no other symptoms. Is this a sign of a fever?
Answer
The infant’s condition may be nasal congestion and loud breathing sounds caused by a fever. Fever is often due to catching a cold, with symptoms including nasal congestion, runny nose, coughing, sputum, sore throat, or cough. It is recommended to give oral paracetamol capsules and ribavirin capsules, drink plenty of warm water, keep warm, and clean the nose in a timely manner to prevent the infant from catching a cold and having nasal congestion.
