Question
The child has started vomiting and diarrhea, then stopped vomiting and defecating, and now has a slight fever. The body temperature was measured at 37.9 degrees Celsius last night, and a fever-reducing patch was applied. What should be done now?
Answer
Considering the possibility of respiratory virus infection, there is currently no specific antiviral medication available. It is recommended to drink plenty of water to maintain fluid balance and ensure good indoor air circulation. If fever, headache, or other symptoms occur, you can use antipyretic analgesics such as paracetamol to relieve symptoms. It is suggested that you go to the local hospital for a detailed examination, including routine stool tests with occult blood tests and bacteriological tests, in order to provide anti-infection treatment based on the results of the examination.
