Question
Can I give my baby medicine as an enema if he has a fever and a cough?
Answer
A baby with a fever and cough may be suffering from an upper respiratory infection or bronchitis. It is recommended to selectively administer medications such as cefixime granules, roxithromycin granules, and to complement with oral solutions like ammonium chloride, children’s cold syrup, and Qingkailing granules. It is not advisable to administer medicine via the anus, as this may cause discomfort and infection. If your baby’s symptoms do not improve, please take him to see a doctor quickly.
