Patient's question:
The child has had diarrhea recently and has also suddenly developed a fever, though the temperature isn't very high. Today, the temperature was measured once and was around 37.4°C. What should I do about the child having diarrhea and a fever?Doctor's answer:
If the baby has diarrhea and a fever, it is essential to replenish fluids quickly. Replenishing fluids can prevent dehydration caused by the baby's diarrhea and also help lower the child's temperature. In necessary situations, physiological saline can be supplemented. During this time, you can give the child some apple puree, which has a therapeutic effect on the child's diarrhea. When the child has a fever, it is important to bathe the child frequently. Monitor the child's temperature at all times. Low-grade fever can be treated with Chaihuang Granules.
