Patient's question:
The baby has a mild case of diarrhea at night. High fever of 38.5°C in the evening. By the third day morning, everything eaten caused diarrhea, and by the afternoon, the fever dropped again. The stool changed color and had a foul, sour odor, with some watery discharge.Previous treatment and effectiveness: The doctor prescribed Rizhixing and probiotics, but there was no improvement.
What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, what could have caused the baby's diarrhea and low fever? What other medications should be taken? What kind of food would be better to eat?
Doctor's answer:
It may be gastrointestinal fever caused by a cold in the stomach and intestines.Advice: Drink some warm water (start with a very small amount of water; only increase if there is no vomiting, and only eat light, thin porridge if there is still no vomiting). Maintain a light diet, apply cold compresses to the lower abdomen (to prevent burns), and avoid cold and cool environments. Avoid extremely cold, sweet, and spicy foods, and do not eat eggs or foods that are difficult to digest for now. You should go to the hospital for intravenous drip treatment.
