Patient's question:
The child at home suddenly came down with a fever. Small red bumps also appeared on the face and back. I don't know what's going on. I quickly went to the hospital for a check-up. The result was roseola. Now, another bad situation has appeared—diarrhea. What should I do about roseola with diarrhea? What medicine should I take?Doctor's answer:
Acute diarrhea in children is caused by colds, indigestion, drug irritation, and other factors. You can give your child some anti-inflammatory and anti-diarrheal medication. Make sure your child drinks plenty of water to avoid dehydration-induced diarrhea. The child's acute rash usually disappears within 1-2 days on its own. You should pay attention to your diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods for your child. Try to eat less food that may cause allergies, such as eggs and dairy products.
