What should I do if the baby has diarrhea and fever?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. What should I do if the baby has diarrhea and keeps having a fever?

Doctor's answer:

Antimicrobial and antipyretic treatment, antipyretic treatment mainly includes two aspects:
1. When the body temperature is below 38.5°C, medication is not necessary. Drinking more water and taking a hot bath can help lower the temperature.
2. When the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medication (e.g., Motrin) and intravenous fluid treatment should be administered.
Hello, it is considered to be gastroenteritis. A routine stool examination can help with diagnosis. Anti-inflammatory drugs should be used for symptomatic treatment, and intravenous fluid treatment may be necessary to correct electrolyte imbalances if needed. Regular follow-up is recommended.
