On September 13th, an infant developed a fever, with a body temperature reaching 39°C, without any runny nose, but accompanied by diarrhea. The child had already received intravenous treatment at a local health clinic and taken medication prescribed by the doctor, but the treatment effect was not significant, and the symptoms continued to recur.
Answer
The infant exhibited fever with a temperature of 39°C, without runny nose but accompanied by diarrhea. The child had already received intravenous treatment at a local health clinic and taken medication prescribed by the doctor, but the treatment effect was not significant, and the symptoms continued to recur. Recommendation: Firstly, it is necessary to conduct a stool test to clearly diagnose the condition, as both enteritis or bacterial dysentery can cause fever. Since treatment has already been received in the hospital, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions. If symptoms persist and recur, it is suggested to seek referral to a county-level hospital.
