Patient's question:
The baby is eight months old. Since yesterday, it has started to have a fever, with the highest temperature reaching 39.6°C. Today, it has poor appetite and vomits everything it eats. It has also had three episodes of green bowel movements. What should I do about the baby's fever and vomiting?Doctor's answer:
I am happy to help you solve your problem. The child has a high fever, so pay attention to the risk of convulsions. Timely fever reduction treatment is necessary. If the vomiting is severe, you can consider intramuscular injection or intravenous medication. It is best not to give oral medication, as it will not be digested. Pay attention to the risk of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, and seek medical treatment for fluid replenishment. I hope my explanation can help you. If you are satisfied, please rate it. Thank you.The patient should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
