Question
My child’s cough has intensified today, accompanied by a slight fever and breathing difficulty. What should I do?
Answer
An increased cough, mild fever, and breathing difficulty in children may be due to pneumonia triggered by a weakened immune system after catching a cold. It is important to conduct blood tests and mycoplasma tests to determine the cause and treat accordingly. At the same time, ensure adequate rest, avoid overexertion, and consume easy-to-digest, light meals. Avoid cold, hard, and spicy irritant foods. Pay attention to keeping warm to prevent catching a cold again.
