Patient's question:
The baby is eight months old and has had a fever since yesterday, with a high temperature of 39.6°C. Today, the appetite is poor, and everything eaten is vomited. Additionally, the baby has had three green bowel movements. What should I do if the baby has a fever and vomiting?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your questions. If a child has a high fever, pay attention to the risk of convulsions. Prompt fever reduction treatment is necessary. If vomiting is severe, consider intramuscular injection or intravenous medication. It's best to avoid oral medication, as it may not be effectively absorbed. It's also important to monitor for dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, and seek medical attention for fluid replacement. I hope my explanation can assist you. If you find it helpful, please rate it. Thank you.The patient should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical activity to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
