Question
What could be the cause of a baby vomiting and having diarrhea with a temperature of 37.5 degrees?
Answer
A baby vomiting and having diarrhea with a temperature of 37.5 degrees may be suffering from enteritis. It is advised for parents to take the child to the hospital for a routine stool test and to take medication under a doctor’s guidance. If the baby is in the process of introducing new complementary foods, it is recommended to pause or reduce the introduction until symptoms improve, and then gradually resume. Additionally, avoid feeding the baby indigestible foods; in severe cases, intravenous fluid therapy may be necessary to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
