Question
Will my child recover from diarrhea and vomiting without medication?
Answer
Yesterday, my child had a bit of diarrhea and vomiting. This morning, after receiving some intravenous fluids, they felt better. However, by evening, they had a slight low-grade fever again. They have previously received intravenous fluid treatment and the symptoms have improved, but I hope they won’t need to take any medication. The child is a male, 1 year old, with complaints of ‘diarrhea accompanied by dry heaves for one day, with fever today,’ with no apparent trigger and no relevant medical history. Physical examination was normal. Since children’s digestive systems are not fully developed and their adjustment abilities are unstable, as well as their immune defenses being weaker, dietary factors, climate, viruses, and bacteria can all lead to symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, and fever. Parents should pay attention to their child’s rest, diet, warmth, and encourage plenty of water intake to aid metabolism. You can give your child some digestive aids and medications to strengthen the spleen and stomach functions. What is the temperature of the fever?
