Question
What should I do if my 6-month-old baby has a fever, cough, and difficulty breathing?
Answer
It is recommended that you actively take your child to the hospital for a physical examination and a blood routine test. After the examination, the specific cause can be determined, and a treatment plan can be formulated based on the white blood cell count of the blood routine. When white blood cells are slightly elevated, oral cefalosporin drugs and cough syrup can be administered; in severe inflammation and infection, it is recommended to consider intravenous treatment with cefalosporin drugs, clindamycin, and Qingkailing. Generally, symptoms will improve within 5-7 days, and attention should be paid to keeping warm and eating small meals more frequently.
