Question
My child has been crying a lot recently and doesn’t eat much. How should I treat a 1-year-old baby with diarrhea and fever?
Answer
Hello, the child’s condition is likely due to gastroenteritis, which may also be caused by viral infection. It is recommended to apply antiviral treatment. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use ibuprofen suspension to cool down. For high fever, physical cooling methods such as cold compresses on the forehead can be used, along with frequent feeding of warm water. Intravenous treatment may be necessary if required.
