Question
The child ate leek and beef dumplings on the 14th night, and vomited in the middle of the night. The next day, they stopped vomiting but had diarrhea and a fever. Now, the main issue is the fever. What should the parents do?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have diarrhea caused by a virus, bacteria, or dietary issues. It is recommended that parents take the child to a local regular hospital for examination, including stool and blood tests, to determine the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, along with plenty of water; if it exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, consider using fever-reducing medication.
