Coughing and fever in babies are problems that every mother will encounter. Adults can handle these phenomena on their own, but babies are too young and only cry when they feel uncomfortable. They cannot express themselves. Mothers not only need to take good care of them, but also find the cause for treatment. So, what is the reason for coughing in babies after fever?
Baby's high fever may be related to bacterial or viral infections, such as lymphadenitis, pneumonia, bacterial dysentery, etc. Fever is when the body heats up, but in addition to fever, there are other symptoms that need to be thoroughly examined by the hospital before they can be diagnosed. The common causes of fever and cough in babies are acute upper respiratory tract infections, acute tonsillitis causing congestion of the throat, and tonsil enlargement. If it is measles, this phenomenon can also occur, accompanied by spots on the oral mucosa. In addition, acute bronchitis and pneumonia do not have symptoms of fever and cough, and there may be sounds of blisters or phlegm sounds when auscultating the lungs. A rash on the baby's skin may be caused by infectious diseases such as measles, rubella, etc., and they may also have symptoms of fever and cough.
When a baby has a fever, antipyretics should not be used casually. If the body temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius, there is no need to take antipyretics. Physical cooling methods such as antipyretic patches can be used to reduce fever. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees, the baby should be taken to the hospital for examination and formal treatment in a timely manner. In addition, indoor ventilation should be frequent, but attention should also be paid to keeping the baby warm during ventilation to prevent catching a cold again.
Fever and cough are common symptoms in babies, which can be caused by various factors. It is important to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
