Patient's question:
The baby is 22 months old. On the 12th of the second lunar month, they got sick with a fever, and after a thorough examination, it was determined to be a viral infection. A few days ago, they took medicine, and the fever went down. There is some coughing and a little shortness of breath, so they were given a special sodium chewable tablet. They also have some indigestion, but it was particularly severe today. They went to the hospital for a stool test and were prescribed Montmorillonite powder and Bifidobacterium. They also bought lactose-free formula. Today, they had a blood test, and the doctor said to stop all the previous medications and just take anti-diarrheal medication. However, they had a high fever at night and kept having diarrhea. What should they do?Doctor's answer:
If the baby has a high fever, the first priority is to reduce the fever to prevent convulsions caused by high fever. Fever-reducing medications or those containing acetaminophen are both effective. Keep the baby hydrated; if there is no pus or blood, continue taking Montmorillonite and probiotics. Take Montmorillonite before meals and probiotics after meals. If the baby urinates infrequently and appears lethargic, seek medical attention at a local hospital promptly to prevent electrolyte imbalance and dehydration.The above advice is for this issue. I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
