Patient's question:
The baby has had diarrhea for about 10 days and today discovered a fever of 38.4. Diarrhea was treated with medication. Previous treatment and effectiveness: The medication did not work. Desired help: Please advise what to do when the baby has diarrhea followed by fever.Doctor's answer:
Considering that children have weakened immunity after diarrhea and are prone to upper respiratory infections, which are usually caused by viral infections, it is recommended to take some antiviral oral liquid. When the fever temperature is below 38.5 degrees, you can take some fever-reducing medication. Pay attention to drinking more water and resting. Do not give the child indigestible foods or spicy, greasy foods. Eat more light and nutritious foods, and pay close attention to the child's condition. If there are any adverse symptoms, seek medical treatment promptly.
