Question
What medications should be taken for fever, vomiting, and diarrhea during the teething period in infants?
Answer
During the teething period, if infants exhibit symptoms such as fever, vomiting, and diarrhea, these may be related to inadequate oral hygiene and gingival inflammation. It is recommended that parents help clean their infants’ mouths regularly, encourage them to drink plenty of water, and rinse their mouths after meals. If the infant’s body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. Additionally, during teething, infants produce more saliva, making them prone to drooling. Parents should wipe their faces promptly and keep their clothes and bedding clean to prevent bacterial growth. Medication treatment should follow the doctor’s instructions, and parents should not administer medication on their own.
