Question
A ten-month-old girl baby threw up twice the night before yesterday, had a slight fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius on the third day, and then recovered after physical cooling. She took children’s paracetamol and chlorphenamine granules, and after taking them, she started to have diarrhea. It’s getting more severe today; it’s like water, slowly coming out like rice porridge. What should we do?
Answer
Considering it could be due to pediatric diarrhea, treatment can be approached through medication. Pay close attention to any changes in the condition and it is recommended to use bifidobacterium live bacteria triple tablets, montmorillonite powder, oral rehydration salts, and Xianka Dang granules. She may have bowel movements multiple times a day; she needs medication for the common cold and drugs for clearing heat and detoxification. Additionally, oral digestive aids should be taken. During this period, try to eat easily digestible foods.
