Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I had a runny nose, but I didn't take it seriously. However, starting yesterday, I began to have a high fever, a slight cough, and some diarrhea. I took fever-reducing medicine, and after six hours, the fever came down again. What's going on? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It might be a gastrointestinal fever caused by a cold in the stomach and intestines. Drink some warm water (start with a very small amount, only increase if you don't vomit, and only eat light, thin porridge if you still don't vomit). Maintain a light diet, apply cold compresses to the lower abdomen (to prevent burns), prevent cold and coolness, avoid extremely cold, sweet, and spicy foods, and temporarily avoid eggs and foods that are difficult to digest. Observe carefully. Focus on treating the symptoms and consult a doctor: Are you vomiting?
