Patient's question:
Two days ago, I had a fever around 38°C and took Motrin, after which the fever subsided. Then, I had diarrhea with egg-like substances in it, frequent flatulence, and generally felt okay, though I wasn't very hungry.Past Treatment and Effects:
I took Xinbolin and Shuanghuanglian. What medication should I take now?
Help Needed:
Is it possible I have enteritis or a stomach flu? What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
The baby has a fever and symptoms of nausea and vomiting. This could either be acute gastroenteritis or a gastrointestinal type of cold. It is recommended to have the baby undergo routine hospital tests for blood and stool to determine the appropriate treatment. If it is a cold, there would usually be other cold symptoms, but the baby currently does not have them, so it is best to be cautious. If the stool test shows inflammation, antibiotics should be administered. Otherwise, adjustments to improve absorption may be sufficient.
