What should I do if my baby has a cough and fever? What medicine should I use if my baby has a cough and fever?

If the baby has symptoms of cough and fever, it is very likely that he has diseases such as bronchitis or tonsillitis. If the cough symptoms are more serious, you can use ambroxol injection for nebulization inhalation. In addition, you can also take expectorant and cough relieving granules to relieve the symptoms of cough. If the cough is accompanied by fever, you can use anti-inflammatory drugs such as amoxicillin.

In daily life, cough and fever are very common diseases. Generally, adults will take medicine directly when they have a cough or fever, and most of them can be cured.

So how should babies take medicine for cough and fever?

1. How to use medicine for baby's cough and fever

1. Ambroxol injection

If the baby has a cough or fever, it is likely that he has tonsillitis, bronchitis, pharyngitis and other diseases, so he usually takes some cough and phlegm-reducing and anti-inflammatory drugs. The more commonly used drugs are amoxicillin, fresh bamboo sap oral liquid, clavulanic potassium granules, etc. During the medication period, you should drink more water and eat more foods high in vitamin C. However, if the cough is more serious, you need to use ambroxol injection for nebulization inhalation, which can effectively alleviate the symptoms.

2. Children's phlegm-resolving and cough-relieving granules

If the cough continues and is accompanied by fever, it is likely caused by respiratory tract infection, such as pneumonia or bronchitis, etc. After these conditions occur, a variety of adverse symptoms may occur, such as decreased appetite, etc. If it is pneumonia, intravenous treatment is usually required. If it is bronchitis, some cough and phlegm-relieving drugs can be taken, such as Children's Phlegm-Removing Cough Granules, but it is best to use the medicine under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Amoxicillin

If the cough and fever are caused by tonsillitis, then you first need to observe whether the tonsils in the throat are red and swollen. If tonsillitis occurs, you can take some cephalosporins or anti-inflammatory drugs appropriately. The most commonly used drug is amoxicillin. When taking these drugs, patients need to pay special attention to their diet, try not to drink alcohol, and do not eat spicy and other irritating foods.

2. Precautions for taking medicine for baby's cough and fever

When your baby develops symptoms of coughing and fever, you need to be especially careful when using medication, because the baby's physical fitness is relatively weak, so try not to take too much medication. You should drink plenty of boiled water during the medication period, which will help the absorption of the medicine and reduce the toxicity of the medicine to the body.
