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. The low fever is generally between 37.1 and 37.6, and it reached 38.5 yesterday, but it still hasn't subsided. 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 understand if there is an intestinal infection. If there is an infection, taking only gastrointestinal regulatory medication is not sufficient; you need to take anti-inflammatory medication. If the infection can be ruled out, dietary regulation will suffice. 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 regularly disinfected. If breastfeeding, the mother's nipples should also be cleaned frequently.
