Patient's question:
My son started with vomiting and diarrhea, then stopped vomiting and having bowel movements. Now he has a slight fever,... Last night, I took his temperature, which was 37.9, and applied a fever-reducing patch. Then what?Doctor's answer:
Considering respiratory viruses, there are currently no specific antiviral drugs available, and symptomatic or traditional Chinese medicine treatments are commonly used measures. Drink plenty of water and maintain air circulation indoors at all times. If you have a fever or headache, you can take fever-reducing and pain-relieving medications such as paracetamol. It is recommended that you visit a local hospital for a series of detailed examinations, including routine stool tests with occult blood tests and bacteriological examinations. Based on the results of these tests, appropriate anti-infective treatment can be administered.
