How to treat fever, cold, and diarrhea

Patient's question:

How to treat a baby with a cold, fever, and diarrhea

Doctor's answer:

?There may be inflammation, try giving some "Mimi Ai" or "Montmorillonite Clay" and anti-inflammatory drugs. Also, if the baby has a fever above 38 degrees, give fever-reducing medicine and use physical cooling methods. Apply alcohol to the child's arms, armpits, and the back of their knees. If a high fever occurs, seek medical attention immediately after stabilizing the temperature. Antibiotics should be used based on the severity of the intestinal infection, primarily to control E. coli. Currently, the medications include berberine, and other options include neomycin, pipemidic acid, etc. Maintain fluid and electrolyte balance. Give the baby more warm water to drink, reduce milk intake and extend feeding intervals, and temporarily pause or reduce complementary foods. For formula-fed infants, you can temporarily give diluted milk, rice water, or other easily digestible foods, then gradually increase the milk intake.
