Fever and diarrhea, how to handle

Patient's question:

Starting yesterday afternoon, I had a fever until 1 a.m. when it rose to 39 degrees Celsius with high fever and my whole body felt hot. Today, I went to the hospital for blood tests and IV fluids, and the fever has subsided. Now, it's rising again to 38 degrees Celsius, and my limbs are cold. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if a child has diarrhea, the first consideration should be indigestion, intestinal inflammation, or exposure to cold. The first step is to diagnose the cause. If the child only has simple diarrhea and is in good spirits, you can give them some Lactobacillus casei or a probiotic preparation, or take Intestinal Growth, and can also add a course of cephalosporin antibiotics. Once the diarrhea becomes severe and medication is ineffective, it is necessary to start intravenous treatment promptly.
