Question
After a child takes antipyretics for a fever, they start vomiting and have diarrhea. What could be the cause?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, it is suggested that you take the child to the hospital for a stool test as it might be caused by a viral infection. If it’s rotavirus infection, treatment with Pancrelipase may be necessary, and oral rehydration salts should be taken to prevent dehydration. In severe cases, hospital intravenous treatment may be required. It is recommended to seek treatment as soon as possible, and wish the child a speedy recovery.
