Patient's question:
Baby has been fussy since yesterday afternoon. I measured his temperature, which was 37.8°C. At 10 PM last night, his temperature was 37.1°C. Today, his stool is a bit of milk. Is he running a fever?Doctor's answer:
A five-month-old child has been fussy yesterday afternoon. Currently, the temperature is a bit high, indicating a fever. Physical cooling methods should be applied, and the child should be encouraged to drink more water. It is also possible that the child may have indigestion, so infant stomach-strengthening powder and probiotics can be administered for treatment. Carefully observe if there are symptoms of a runny nose or cold. The child's condition is considered to be viral gastroenteritis. The child had a fever before experiencing nausea and vomiting. If the child remains feverish and the fever does not subside, it should be treated as viral gastroenteritis.The above advice is for the question "A five-month-old baby started being fussy yesterday afternoon, and their temperature was measured."
