Question
At noon, while eating, I noticed that my baby has a fever with an armpit temperature of 38.4 degrees Celsius, and has had diarrhea three times, with two of them being loose stools. What should I do?
Answer
A baby’s fever is often due to bacterial or viral infection. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoid cold foods. The cooling properties in fruits may be detrimental to a baby with diarrhea. It is recommended to use a navel patch and take oral Qingkailing and Chaihu Granules.
