Patient's question:
On the 16th of July, after eating a frozen watermelon, I started to develop a fever with diarrhea in the evening. On the 17th, I received a fever-reducing injection, but the fever returned, and I took anti-diarrheal medication, which didn't help. From the 18th to the 19th, I continued to receive injections for diarrhea, but it still wasn't under control. What should I do now?? DiarrheaDoctor's answer:
The child's symptoms are considered to be gastroenteritis, primarily caused by a bacterial infection, which can lead to fever and diarrhea. It is best to go to the hospital for a clear diagnosis and then treat accordingly.Advice: It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a stool examination. If it is gastroenteritis, intravenous fluid treatment with anti-inflammatory medication will be necessary. Generally, continuous treatment for a week is required to heal. Pay attention to the child's overall condition, give them plenty of water, and avoid giving them hard-to-digest foods. Keep warm and avoid getting cold.
