Question
After a cold, a 14-month-old baby experienced diarrhea and fever. The platelet count was found to be 91. How should this situation be addressed?
Answer
Based on the examination results, the child may have anemia and needs to improve nutrition, supplement vitamins and trace elements, and consume easily digestible and absorbable foods. Consider using traditional Chinese medicine or Xingpi Yanger medications to improve symptoms. Additionally, since respiratory system infections can also cause similar symptoms, if the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system infection, immediate medical treatment should be sought in coordination with a doctor, and appropriate gastrointestinal decompression measures should be taken. Parents should help cultivate good hygiene habits and ensure that the child’s diet is balanced, avoiding excessive intake of irritating or cold foods.
