Patient's question:
Also accompanied by diarrhea (6-7 times a day), vomiting (usually after feeding), and loss of appetite. But the mental state is still quite good. Low-grade fever is generally between 37.1-37.6, with a test yesterday showing 38.5, but it still hasn't taken effect. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
Hello. You need to determine the cause of your child's low fever. It is recommended that you first take your child to the hospital for a stool test to check if there is an intestinal infection. If there is an infection, taking only gastrointestinal regulation medication is not sufficient. Anti-inflammatory medication is also needed. If the infection can be ruled out, dietary adjustment will be sufficient. Children are young and have lower resistance, so it is essential to pay close attention to their dietary hygiene. Baby bottles, towels, and face basins used by the child should be disinfected regularly. If breastfeeding, the mother's nipples should also be cleaned frequently.
