Question
My 2-year-old baby has a fever and diarrhea, and doesn’t want to eat. She started having a fever at midnight two days ago and it has been intermittent since then. She began having diarrhea today and can’t seem to eat anything. What solutions are there?
Answer
Based on the current situation, it’s possible that the baby has contracted gastroenteritis, and the fever could be a symptom of it as well. If the condition is not severe, it’s recommended to ensure the baby stays well-hydrated, use alcohol wipes for temperature reduction, and maintain a diet that is light and easy to digest. If necessary, you can give the child some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, but remember to choose pediatric formulations and ensure the dosage is appropriate. Parents should closely monitor the baby’s condition, and if symptoms worsen, seek medical attention immediately.
