Question
What should I do if my 15-month-old child has a low fever after vomiting and having diarrhea? The child overate the night before and started vomiting and diarrhea. It improved last night, but fever began today. The child has already taken Pan Deyi and Montmorillonite powder. Should I continue these for the low fever?
Answer
The symptoms you mentioned are typically caused by inflammation and should be treated promptly by a medical professional to ensure full recovery, avoiding potential issues with self-medication. Vomiting and diarrhea are usually symptoms of gastroenteritis, possibly related to improper diet or exposure to cold. In addition to medication, maintain a light and easily digestible diet, avoid overly cold or greasy foods, keep warm, stay hydrated, and adjust in all aspects to promote recovery.
