Question
If a young child experiences consecutive days of diarrhea and fever, and has already taken Montmorillonite Powder, Children’s Gastrointestinal Comfort Granules, and Oral Rehydration Salt Powder for treatment, what further steps should be taken?
Answer
Based on the described situation, the child’s consecutive days of fever and diarrhea may be caused by intestinal bacteria or rotavirus infection. It is recommended to bring the child to the hospital for routine blood tests, stool tests, and rotavirus antigen detection as soon as possible to determine the cause of the illness and provide appropriate treatment. Diarrhea may be a manifestation of enteritis, with a typical course of about 7 to 10 days. During the treatment process, the child may experience recurrent episodes of diarrhea.
