What should I do if I have a cold, fever, and diarrhea?

Patient's question:

The baby is just 9 months old. A few days ago, it caught a cold and had some diarrhea. Since last night, it has been insisting on being held in the adult's arms to sleep. This morning, the baby's temperature rose to 38.5 degrees Celsius. On the way to the People's Hospital of our county, its fever reached 39.5 degrees Celsius. At the hospital, the rectal temperature was measured at 39 degrees Celsius. The hospital prescribed ibuprofen suppositories to be inserted into the rectum, and the temperature then dropped. A blood test was conducted for a complete blood count. The doctor reviewed the results and said there was nothing wrong, attributing it to a cold. The baby was given half a tablet of cefdinir dispersible tablets (Category B) and one-third of a pack of children's Chireqingqing Granules. At around 1 PM, the baby's temperature rose again, so the hospital was visited first to insert an ibuprofen suppository into the rectum to lower the temperature, and then an intravenous drip was administered.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Hello, the fever phenomenon you mentioned in children is also a relatively common disease in childhood. It is considered that the cause of the fever is inflammation.

In this way, the child will gradually get better. If the child has persistent diarrhea, it is advisable to add a liquid for treating diarrhea to the treatment. The child will gradually get better.
