Hello everyone! On Wednesday, I started feeling unwell. I thought it was my teeth, but it turned out not to be. On Thursday, I had a fever all day, 38.5°C, which I managed to bring down, but then it went back up to 38.9°C. On Friday morning, I still had a fever, but later it dropped to 37.5°C. We visited the doctor, who said it was a viral infection. On Friday, I only had a runny nose. The next appointment is only on Tuesday. On Saturday, I started coughing, and today the cough has become frequent and dry. I feel lethargic. By the evening, I noticed that my skin seemed mottled. Could this be because of the illness? What can be done for a dry cough?

Hello! Yes, the change in skin color might be related to your body currently fighting a virus. To deal with a dry cough, you can try the following methods: 1. Drink plenty of warm fluids, such as tea with honey or warm milk with honey. This will help moisturize your throat and soften the cough. 2. Use a humidifier in the room to prevent drying out the mucous membranes of the throat. 3. Take warm baths or showers to help relieve tension in the throat and chest. 4. Apply hot compresses to the chest to ease the cough. 5. Try taking a decoction of lemon, ginger, and honey - this will help strengthen the immune system and soften the cough. If the cough does not improve or intensifies, be sure to consult a doctor for advice and treatment. Take care and get well soon!

Consult a pediatrician. Have the heart checked. In the photo, it looks like the child is covered in bruises.

камила, The child might be cold, that's why the skin is mottled. Keep observing. Such a temperature could also be due to teething. Is the throat red?

Катя Та, Yes, the cough is dry (no fever). And it seems like a tooth is coming in.

The mottling might be due to temperature. I think that's why the child has such skin. But yes, sometimes it is a sign that there might be something wrong with the blood vessels or heart, so it would be worth consulting a pediatrician just to be safe.
