Question
Is the baby’s fussiness a sign of fever?
Answer
The 5-month-old child showed signs of fussiness yesterday afternoon, and the temperature is slightly elevated, indicating a fever. It is important to provide physical cooling for the child and ensure they drink plenty of water. There is a possibility of the baby being constipated or having poor digestion, which may be treated with infantJianpi San (Yi Pan San) and probiotics. Observe closely for symptoms of a cold with a runny nose. The child’s condition is considered to be viral enteritis, as the child had a feverish sensation before vomiting. If the child continues to have a fever and diarrhea does not stop, treatment for viral enteritis should be administered.
