Question
Yesterday afternoon, my child started to have a fever and by 1 AM, the temperature reached 39 degrees with the whole body feeling hot. Today, we went to the hospital for blood tests and intravenous fluids, and the fever subsided. Now, the fever has returned to 38 degrees, and the limbs are cold. What should we do?
Answer
Hello, when a child experiences diarrhea, the first consideration is indigestion, enteritis, or catching a cold. It’s important to diagnose the cause first. If the child’s diarrhea is mild and they are in good spirits, you can give them some Mommy Love or probiotic supplements, or administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. If the diarrhea becomes severe and medication is ineffective, immediate intravenous treatment may be necessary.
