Question
A few months-old infant has developed symptoms of fever, runny nose, and sneezing, and also has diarrhea issues. After several days of intravenous fluid therapy, the fever subsided, but diarrhea occurred approximately four to five times a day, with yellowish, sticky, and watery stools. How should this be handled?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have a cold and possibly mild gastroenteritis. It is important to pay attention to the child’s diet and environmental temperature changes. The diet should be light, and the child should be well-hydrated. If the diarrhea symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to seek professional medical evaluation at a children’s hospital. I hope these suggestions can help everyone, and wish the child a speedy recovery.
