Patient's question:
I've had diarrhea for a week now, and recently I've started getting high fever. I took Motrin to reduce the fever, but in the late night it went back up to over 38 degrees. What could be the reason? What department should I go to at the hospital?Past treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help I need: I want to know what's wrong and how to take care of it properly.
Doctor's answer:
If the child only has nausea, vomiting, and fever, it should be considered related to an intestinal infection or dehydration. It may be appropriate to conduct some tests for further resolution.Medical Advice: It is recommended that you visit a pediatrician to have some blood tests and a stool examination for the child, which will help in further resolution. Also, make sure to give the child plenty of fluids.
