Patient's question:
The baby is 2 years old. In one day, they had diarrhea five times, dry vomiting once, and vomited milk. They also had a fever, with the highest temperature reaching 38.5 degrees Celsius. They took Motrin, which helped lower the fever, but they have been running a high fever of over 37 degrees Celsius ever since. Previously, they had symptoms of a cold, such as a runny nose. There is a picture of their stool for reference. Could you please tell me what illness this might be?Doctor's answer:
Two-year-old baby previously had a cold with a runny nose, and now symptoms such as dry cough, nausea, vomiting, and fever have reappeared. After taking the fever reducer Tylenol, the fever subsided, but it remained high. A routine stool test was conducted, but I didn’t see the picture you mentioned. However, based on the medical history, the baby likely has a respiratory infection accompanied by digestive upset. It is necessary to treat the respiratory infection promptly, and probiotics can be taken to aid digestion and help restore intestinal function. The above advice is for the question "How to treat a 2-year-old who has diarrhea five times a day?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
