Patient's question:
The baby has recently shown symptoms of fever and vomiting, which might be due to indigestion. The doctor at the hospital said the baby has an upper respiratory infection, but now the fever has subsided and the baby is experiencing diarrhea. Is it still indigestion or something else? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Children with fever are often caused by upper respiratory tract infections or gastrointestinal digestive function disorders and other diseases. Therefore, in addition to symptomatic antipyresis, anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatments are also required. Symptomatic antipyresis can be achieved through physical cooling and medication. First, physical cooling should be done, and on the basis of physical cooling, medication should be accurately administered for antipyresis when the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees. Parents should pay close attention and carefully observe whether the child also has symptoms such as a runny nose or nasal congestion.
