A child with a fever, sore throat, and cough has undergone intravenous treatment but the symptoms have recurred. Laboratory tests have confirmed a viral pharyngitis. Medications for fever reduction, anti-inflammatory drugs, and cough suppressants have been administered for several days, but there has been no improvement in the fever and cough. It is recommended to undergo a chest X-ray to rule out bronchitis and to monitor bowel movements to ensure they are regular.
A child with a fever, dry vomiting, and lack of energy may be due to acute infection or gastrointestinal diseases. It is important to seek medical attention promptly for diagnosis and appropriate measures.
A baby’s fever could be caused by bacterial infection or catching a cold. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, it is generally not recommended to use fever-reducing medication. Instead, you can use physical methods to cool down, such as wiping the baby’s forehead or armpits with alcohol swabs or damp cloths. If there is an infection, taking antibacterial medication for treatment is sufficient. Remember to have the baby drink plenty of water to help alleviate the condition.
