Patient's question:
It has already started. After taking high fever medicine, the stool is runny and egg white-like with a fishy smell. Then there is also a runny nose and cough. In the morning, the temperature dropped, but in the afternoon and evening, it went back up. What kind of assistance is needed: What is the reason and what should be done...Doctor's answer:
First, perform a routine stool test for diagnosis to check if there are white blood cells, indicating whether it's indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, be mindful of whether fever is causing intestinal dysfunction. If it's indigestion, oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye, Mamai, and Simida are recommended. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Shorten the interval for changing diapers. Allow the stomach and intestines to rest. Increase fluid intake. If supplementary foods are being introduced, pause or adjust the amount. Gradually resume as the condition improves. Avoid foods that are difficult to digest. If the test shows inflammation, anti-inflammatory treatment is advised. Oral Cefixime can be taken for anti-inflammatory effects. If there's high fever, fever-reducing measures are necessary. Severe cases may require intravenous treatment to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Additionally, shorten the interval for changing diapers, allow the stomach and intestines to rest, increase fluid intake, pause supplementary food, or adjust the amount. Gradually resume as the condition improves. Avoid foods that are difficult to digest. The above suggestions are for the issue of "infant recurrent fever, nausea, vomiting, cough, and thick tongue coating." Hope this helps. Wishing you good health!
