Question
The baby has been having diarrhea for over a week now. We went to the hospital for a stool test, and it was said to be due to catching a cold and indigestion. The medicine has been taken for a week, and although it’s not as frequent as before, the stools are still green each time. How should a 2-year-old’s diarrhea followed by fever be treated?
Answer
Your child is 2 years old and suddenly started having diarrhea, with eight episodes yesterday, in a foamy consistency. They also have a fever and runny nose. The initial diagnosis is gastrointestinal flu. For parents, it’s important to help your child receive timely treatment for the illness. Additionally, pay attention to your baby’s daily diet, ensuring a balanced nutrition without over-supplementing or malnutrition.
