Question
My 4-year-old baby has eye discharge, yellow nasal mucus, a cough with phlegm, and has been running a fever of 39 degrees at night, while the temperature is normal during the day. The cough started a few days ago, and the child had a high fever the day before, taking Meilin. But last night, the child had a fever again, with more eye discharge and yellowish mucus.
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have a fever due to diarrhea. You can give the child cooling and heat-clearing medicine such as honeysuckle granules, and encourage them to drink plenty of water and eat fruits like pears and apples. During fever, you can intermittently give Meilin to reduce fever and combine it with physical cooling. For cough with phlegm, consider giving the child appropriate cough syrup and expectorant medicine.
