Question
An 8-month-old baby. Low fever of 39 degrees. It’s been two days, and the fever subsides with antipyretics but returns. The baby has some nausea and vomiting. The stool is yellowish. Could it be infantile roseola? Can the baby take Montmorillonite powder for nausea and vomiting?
Answer
The baby’s main symptom at the moment is fever, which may fluctuate and recur. Fever is usually caused by infection, so it’s advisable to check blood routine tests and C-reactive protein to assess the infection situation, and treat accordingly. During fever, physical cooling (cooling) can be combined. Nausea and vomiting can be infectious or non-infectious. It’s recommended to examine the stool routine to check the stool condition, combine the baby’s clinical symptoms, and make a comprehensive evaluation to determine the cause of diarrhea, and provide symptomatic support treatment.
