Patient's question:
Child is 18 months old. Today at noon, they wore a bit too little and seem to have caught a cold. Their bowel movement is a bit loose. Now they have a temperature of 37.7 degrees. Is it serious? What can be done?Doctor's answer:
As you described, the child has a fever accompanied by nausea and vomiting, which is likely caused by gastroenteritis. It is necessary to conduct a detailed and thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis, followed by active treatment. Daily diet should be properly managed, and nursing care should be enhanced to prevent adverse effects. Digestive vitamins such as C and B can be taken. For nausea and vomiting, Montmorillonite powder and tannalbin can be used. If the fever is not high, it may not need to be addressed, and physical cooling methods should be applied in coordination. When necessary, medications such as fosfomycin and amoxicillin can be used to actively suppress infection. Specific treatment should follow the guidance of the clinical diagnosis physician.
