Children's cough and fever may be caused by respiratory infectious diseases, and symptomatic care is generally sufficient. There are many reasons that can cause children's fever. The most common one is infection, such as viral or bacterial infection. Other common reasons include excessive warmth, high activity, eating, and teething. Severe coughing will affect the digestive system, so it will induce vomiting. If the baby's body temperature is relatively high, exceeding 38.5 degrees, you need to use children's antipyretic medicine as prescribed by the doctor. If the cough is obvious, you can take Feili Ke mixture or Xiaoer Feire Kechuan granules. Try not to let the child eat or take medicine within half an hour after vomiting to let the stomach rest properly. If the baby coughs frequently or affects sleep and diet, he should go to the hospital for treatment.

For children with cough and fever, if the symptoms are not severe, symptomatic treatment can be given at home. If the body temperature is greater than 38.5℃, antipyretic drugs such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen can be used, and expectorant and cough-relieving drugs such as ambroxol oral solution or Feili cough mixture can be given. At the same time, drink more water and eat a light diet at home. If there is no obvious improvement, take the child to the hospital for a blood test to determine whether the pathogen causing the infection is bacteria, virus or mycoplasma. If it is a mycoplasma infection, macrolide antibiotics are given, and commonly used ones are azithromycin or erythromycin. If it is a bacterial infection, cephalosporin or penicillin antibiotics are given. If it is a viral infection, antiviral oral liquid or ribavirin granules are given. At the same time, according to the child's symptoms, if the cough is severe, it can also be combined with nebulization inhalation and other treatments. During the disease, you must drink more water and eat a light diet to facilitate the recovery of the disease.
