Question
What medication should I give my baby who has a fever of 37.7 degrees Celsius and no appetite?
Answer
After the baby’s fever of 37.7 degrees Celsius was treated with Huotong and the fever subsided, symptoms such as a loss of appetite and diarrhea appeared. These could be signs of gastroenteritis or stomach flu caused by catching a cold. It is recommended to use double-potassium pseudomorphine dispersible tablets and vitamin C as antiviral medications, along with amoxicillin for anti-inflammatory purposes. Additionally, due to the many causes affecting a child’s respiratory system, parents should cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment and pay attention to gastrointestinal pressure reduction and good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious not to let their children develop picky eating habits and should provide a balanced diet.
