What should I do if a child has a high fever and stomach pain?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. What should I do if my child has a high fever and stomach pain?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, for the baby's high fever and abdominal pain, it is necessary to consider the possibility of mesenteric lymphadenitis. This can be diagnosed through an abdominal ultrasound. For physical cooling, you can initially focus on reducing the fever without other symptoms appearing. At home, you can use physical cooling methods for the baby, such as applying alcohol or warm water to their body, especially over major blood vessels to help lower the temperature. Be sure to provide the baby with plenty of fluids. If this is ineffective, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
