Patient's question:
The baby is already eight months old. A few days ago, he accidentally caught a cold from the air conditioner and has been experiencing nausea and vomiting. After taking medicine, his fever has been coming and going. I’m not sure what medicine to give him, so I’d like to ask the doctor what medicine is recommended for infant diarrhea and fever.Doctor's answer:
First, let the baby focus on breastfeeding, but the interval time must be extended, and use a small amount multiple times to change diapers. You can provide water appropriately, or oral probiotics or montmorillonite. At the same time, and ribavirin granules. Also, pay attention to preventing the baby's abdomen from getting cold. If it's below 38°, oral fever-reducing medication such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen granules can be given. If it's above 38°, physical cooling methods should be used. The main concern is dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
