Question
How should I treat a 7-month-old baby who has been running a fever for two days with temperatures ranging from 37 to 38 degrees?
Answer
Fever in the early stages is often caused by viral infections. Initially, you can give the baby children’s cold syrup. In addition to ribavirin granules, ensure the baby drinks plenty of water. If coughing and phlegm appear again, you can add symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as Zailin or cefaclor granules. Keep a close watch on the baby’s condition, and if there is no improvement, it is recommended to consult a doctor at the hospital.
