Question
A three-year-old baby had diarrhea in the afternoon, stomach pain with fruit at night, and then a fever. There were no symptoms of dry heaving or nausea. The baby was given Montmorillonite powder and probiotics. After the fever reached 38.8 degrees, Methylphenidate was administered. The temperature has not yet dropped due to the medication. What is this situation? Is it gastroenteritis? Or something like that? Can I use these two medications?
Answer
Based on the description you provided, considering the baby’s condition, it is likely that it is caused by gastroenteritis. Suggestion: Take the baby to the hospital for a detailed routine blood test, drink plenty of water, do not use children’s four-nine cold infusion and probiotics. For fever above 38.5 degrees, you can take children’s fever-reducing medicine, apply a hot water bottle to the abdomen, eat a light diet, and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. These are the suggestions for the question “A three-year-old baby had diarrhea in the afternoon and stomach pain with fruit at night.” I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
