Question
My baby accidentally caught a cold a few days ago, with symptoms of coughing and a runny nose. They have been taking medicine, but today they suddenly developed a high fever. I’m a bit worried and not sure if I should give them some fever-reducing medicine. Can someone tell me what I should do now?
Answer
If your baby only has a cough and runny nose without any other symptoms, you can give them some cold medicine. Additionally, since your baby has developed a fever again, it’s generally considered related to infection. I suggest improving blood routine checks to precisely determine what kind of infection is causing the simple viral infection. Focus on symptomatic treatment, and in the meantime, pay close attention to your baby’s mental state and ensure they drink plenty of water.
