Question
What should be done when a child has a fever of 39 degrees, accompanied by diarrhea and vomiting symptoms?
Answer
Since the child is experiencing diarrhea and vomiting, it may be due to complications from a cold. It is recommended to consider comprehensive treatment. Medications such as pediatric complex pancreatin powder, Saccharomyces boulardii, Lactobacillus, and pepsin solution can be given to promote absorption. Additionally, attapulgite powder can be used to stop diarrhea and protect the gastrointestinal mucosa. As the child is young, it is not advisable to self-medicate; treatment can be administered using a navel patch. If the treatment effect is not obvious, it is recommended to seek medical assistance when symptoms worsen. To reduce the fever, ibuprofen granules can be used. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
