Question
How to solve diarrhea and vomiting after a baby’s fever subsides?
Answer
When a child has a high fever and then recovers after taking medication, but then experiences vomiting and diarrhea, this may be due to an intestinal viral infection. At this point, you should give the child plenty of water and use digestive fluids to replenish the body’s fluids and electrolytes. If the child’s urine output decreases, and the symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea are severe, even leading to dehydration, it should be treated immediately with medical attention for rehydration therapy to maintain the balance of body fluids and electrolytes and prevent acidosis. For children with mild symptoms, montmorillonite powder can be given to protect the gastrointestinal mucosa; at the same time, probiotics can also help adjust the balance of the intestinal flora.
