Question
An eleven-month-old baby has had a fever and cough for several days, and the parent brought the child to the hospital for consultation today.
Answer
It is recommended to take antiviral medications such as Virazole or Viraline, and if the body temperature is too high, some cooling and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine can be used. At the same time, attention should be paid to whether there are symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease, as it may complicate myocarditis, encephalitis, meningitis, and other conditions. Immediate symptomatic treatment should be carried out.
