Patient's question:
How to deal with a 2-year-old baby with fever, diarrhea, and poor appetite?Last night, the baby started having intermittent fever, and today they began experiencing diarrhea and refuse to eat. How can this be resolved?
Doctor's answer:
Based on the current situation, it is likely that the baby has gastroenteritis, and the fever is probably caused by gastroenteritis as well. If the condition is not severe, it is recommended to give the baby more fluids. You can use alcohol wipes to help lower the temperature. The diet should be light and easy to digest. If necessary, you can give the baby some anti-inflammatory medication. When choosing anti-inflammatory medication, it is important to select one suitable for children and ensure the dosage is appropriate. Parents should closely monitor the baby and seek medical attention promptly if the symptoms worsen.
