Question
What should I do if my baby has a high fever at night and diarrhea?
Answer
When a baby has a high fever, it is crucial to provide fever-reducing measures to prevent the risk of high fever convulsions. You can use fever-reducing medication or drugs containing paracetamol. For the diarrhea issue, if there is no pus or blood in the stool, concentrate on taking Montmorillonite powder and bifidobacteria. It is recommended to take Montmorillonite powder before meals and bifidobacteria after meals. If the baby’s urine output is reduced and they appear unwell, seek immediate hospital hydration treatment to prevent potential dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. It is advised to discontinue all previously prescribed medications and only take anti-diarrheal drugs. I hope these suggestions can help you resolve the issue, and I wish your baby a speedy recovery.
