Question
My daughter, who is 1 year and 4 months old, has had a low fever of 37.1-37.4 degrees Celsius for three days in a row. She can eat, play, and sleep normally. Her blood test shows normal white blood cells. What could be the cause, and what should I do? Thank you.
Answer
Based on the description, the initial judgment is that it may be caused by an upper respiratory infection, possibly due to bacterial or viral infection leading to fever and sore throat which triggers coughing. It is recommended to use cooling and detoxifying medications such as Children’s Shuangjin Oral Liquid and antibiotics like Cefaclor Granules for treatment. At the same time, pay attention to drinking plenty of water, keeping warm, and for mothers who are breastfeeding, maintain a diet that is light and easy to digest to help speed up recovery.
