Patient's question:
This morning, I noticed that the baby had a slight fever—when I checked, it was 38 degrees Celsius. I gave him a little fever-reducing medicine. At noon, it was 37 degrees, and he had a bowel movement again, with bubbles and some redness. In the afternoon, it was 37.5 degrees, and he had another bowel movement, still with bubbles and some redness. What could be going on? Please help, should I see a doctor? What kind of medicine would be better to take?Doctor's answer:
The child's condition is considered to be diarrhea caused by a bacterial infection. There are many reasons for diarrhea, such as: viral infection, bacterial infection, poor digestion, and unclean diet, all of which can cause diarrhea. The child's temperature is 39.5°C. It is recommended to give the child Melin to reduce fever and use physical cooling methods, such as applying a cold towel to the forehead. It is also recommended to take Cefixime Granules, Simethicone, and Shengzhengsheng to regulate the intestines, combined with massage at the Tianshu acupoint to stop diarrhea. During the illness, pay attention to dietary hygiene.
