Patient's question:
The child is 11 months old. A bit of diarrhea. Fever. Diagnosed with upper respiratory and gastrointestinal infection at the hospital. Received fever-reducing injections. IV infusion of anti-inflammatory cephalosporin drugs. But no improvement. Persistent fever around 38.5 degrees. Already 3 days.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, gastrointestinal-type upper respiratory infections often present with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which may be accompanied by fever, cough, runny nose, and sneezing. Drinking plenty of water, taking oral paracetamol and yellow, probiotics, and anti-diarrheal medication can help treat the condition. Monitor closely, and if the baby shows signs of crying, abdominal distension, or bloody stools, seek medical attention promptly for an ultrasound to rule out intussusception.
