What to do if your baby has a low-grade fever and cough

Now many parents report that their babies’ low-grade fever and cough never get better and the symptoms recur repeatedly, which makes the parents very distressed. As babies grow, they are prone to illness because their functions are not fully developed. So today we will explain to you why your baby’s low-grade fever and cough never get better. How should we take care of our babies in daily life?

In summer, babies are prone to diarrhea. It is usually caused by bacterial infection. After diarrhea, the body's resistance is reduced, and it is easy to catch a cold. When a baby catches a cold, there are many symptoms, including low-grade fever, runny nose, and cough.

Then it is definitely necessary to take medicine to treat these. There is no other way to take medicine for diarrhea or medicine for cough. It is the only way. But you can take them at different times. If you don't want to give him cough medicine, you can only give him Bingtangli Soup or drink more boiled water. But these effects are slow.

Giving medicine will cause the baby to cough repeatedly. My family had the same problem some time ago. The symptoms were basically the same as yours. I gave the baby cough syrup and anti-inflammatory drugs, but the baby didn't get better. Later, a friend of mine in the hospital asked me to stop giving the medicine, saying that if antibiotics were used too much, the baby's immunity would become worse and worse, because antibiotics would also kill many beneficial bacteria. Later, she suggested squeezing white radish juice for the baby to drink, or cooking it for the baby to eat. The effect was significant, and there were no side effects. I went home and tried it for two days, and the baby really stopped coughing. Later, I introduced it to many children, and they all said the effect was good. The key is that there are no side effects, which is the most important thing for the baby.

What to do if your baby has a cold, low-grade fever, and cough

1. Pay attention to your child’s mental state. If the child has a high fever but is in good spirits, and can still laugh and play after taking medicine to reduce the fever, and is almost the same as usual, it means that the child's condition is not serious and he or she can be rest assured to recuperate at home. If the child is listless, tired, and has a dull expression, it indicates that the child is seriously ill and should be taken to the hospital immediately.

2. Observe the child’s complexion. If the child's complexion is normal or flushed, you can rest assured to take care of him at home; if his complexion is dull, yellow, blue, or purple, and his eyes are dull, it means that the condition is serious and he should be sent to the hospital.

3. Observe whether the child has severe, projectile vomiting. If so, it indicates a brain disease, and the child should go to the hospital.

4. Check whether there is any rash on the skin. If there is, it indicates an infectious disease or drug allergy; check whether the skin is purple or cool. If there is, it indicates circulatory failure. In both cases, you need to go to the hospital again.

5. Observe whether the child has abdominal pain and bloody stools. Abdominal pain that does not allow massage indicates acute abdomen, and bloody stools indicate dysentery, etc., and you must go to the hospital.

The above are the causes and treatment methods of baby’s low fever and cough that we introduced to you. So according to the above we can see that parents should always pay attention to the baby's physical condition, and if they encounter some situations, they should immediately go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment. I hope the above content can help everyone.
