Patient's question:
A 1.5-week-old baby had diarrhea and dry vomiting once each yesterday afternoon. In the evening, after eating, they vomited three times and had three bowel movements. Now, at midnight, they have started fevering at 38.2°C and have taken fever-reducing medication. Can they take Cefadroxil Granules? Is it gastroenteritis? At half past 11, they took probiotics and diarrhea medication, but vomited by 2 a.m. Is it necessary to take Cefadroxil Granules and diarrhea medication now?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, the symptoms of the baby may be due to abnormal gastrointestinal function caused by a viral infection. It is recommended that you first carefully observe the baby's condition, drink more water, or use physical cooling methods. Temporarily stop medication treatment. If the symptoms do not improve, take the baby to the hospital for a face-to-face consultation with a doctor for further examination so that the medication can be adjusted accordingly. The above is the advice for the question "Is it gastroenteritis if a 1.5-month-old baby has diarrhea, vomiting, and fever?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
