Patient's question:
The baby is now two years old. He has a fever, vomiting, and has also been having diarrhea recently. It's very uncomfortable for him. What should we do now?Doctor's answer:
The baby suddenly has a fever, vomiting, and diarrhea, which may be due to acute infection in the baby. First, it is necessary to give the baby intravenous fluids to replenish fluids. If the baby is not given intravenous fluids and fluids are not replenished in this condition, the baby's fever symptoms may suddenly rise. When the baby has a fever, fever-reducing medication should also be used. However, the use of fever-reducing medication should be determined based on the baby's fever temperature. If the fever temperature exceeds 38.5, then the baby should be given Tylenol to reduce fever.
