Question
An 11-month-old girl has had a fever for three days, accompanied by diarrhea and a large amount of watery stools. The administration of Montmorillonite powder has been ineffective. Currently, the child appears weak and often rests with her eyes closed.
Answer
I’m glad to offer some suggestions. In this situation, considering the child may be suffering from a condition caused by gastrointestinal flu, it is recommended to take some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and antipyretics while continuing with the Montmorillonite powder. Children are most susceptible to absorption issues during this period, so parents should pay special attention to feeding. Additionally, proper diet and keeping the abdomen warm are also important. These are the suggestions for handling the issue of “Handling Fever and Diarrhea in an 11-Month-Old Baby.” I hope this helps, and wish your child a healthy recovery!
