Question
Yesterday, the child had a high fever and experienced diarrhea four times. After taking fever-reducing medication, the child’s body temperature has returned to normal today, but there have been three more episodes of diarrhea. The stool contains a small amount of red stringy blood and a large amount of food residue. The child’s mental state is good.
Answer
Most children who experience fever accompanied by diarrhea symptoms have viral infections as the cause. If these symptoms are not treated in a timely manner, they may have a serious impact on the child’s physical health and normal development. Therefore, it is important to first determine the cause of the disease before treating the child’s fever and diarrhea symptoms. Parents should pay sufficient attention to these symptoms.
