Patient's question:
A three-year-old child had diarrhea in the afternoon, and by night, they experienced stomach pain after eating fruits and then developed a fever. There were no symptoms of vomiting or nausea. Montmorillonite and probiotics were administered. After the fever reached 38.8°C, they were given Tylenol. Currently, the medication hasn't taken effect yet, and the temperature hasn't dropped. What is the situation? Is it a stomach flu, or something like gastroenteritis? Can I use these two medications?Doctor's answer:
