Patient's question:
A three-year-old baby has a fever and is not eating, with a slight cough, dry stools, and nausea during meals. Treatment history and effectiveness: None. Desired help: How to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, the child's condition may be caused by a gastrointestinal flu. I suggest taking the child to the pediatric department of a hospital for a complete blood count test to make a diagnosis. After the diagnosis, follow the doctor's advice to take some anti-inflammatory drugs, cough syrup, and fever-reducing medication. Fever can also be reduced through physical cooling methods, such as bathing with 25%-50% alcohol. Additionally, you can give the child some medication for treating pediatric gastrointestinal issues. If the child has dry stools, they can eat more vegetables and fruits, and drinking honey tea can also help with bowel lubrication.
