Question
A young child suddenly vomited dry heaves at 1:30 AM during the sleep process. From 1:30 AM to 4:30 AM, they vomited four times. They have had a fever three times from the day before yesterday to yesterday, with temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius treated with Mefenamic Acid. For high fever, a body wipe with hot water was used. At 3:30 AM yesterday morning, the temperature reached 38.7 degrees Celsius, and after using Mefenamic Acid and wiping with warm water, they perspired and the fever subsided. At 3:30 PM in the afternoon, they had another fever episode. What should be done?
Answer
Based on the description, the young child may have contracted gastroenteritis. It is recommended to administer oral Mefenamic Acid tablets, encourage plenty of water intake, and use antibiotics if necessary. Avoid cold exposure and excessive chilliness, and ensure adequate rest. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you good health.
