Patient's question:
The baby has had a fever for the past two days. They have already taken fever-reducing medication and it has been effective, but their bowel movements are not normal. Previously, they had one bowel movement per day, which was a bit runny. In the past two days, they have had 5 or 6 bowel movements per day, and they are very loose. The baby is 7 months old. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The baby is still young, and the gastrointestinal function has not fully developed. Currently, the baby is in a sick state, and nausea and vomiting may be related to gastroenteritis, indigestion, or catching a cold. Probiotics and other medications can be taken. In daily life, pay attention to giving the baby more water, light diet, small and frequent meals, and avoid getting cold. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if the baby's bowel movements are abnormal after a fever?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
