Question
An 18-month-old baby had diarrhea at night and couldn’t keep anything down the next morning. By the third morning, the baby had a fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius and a low-grade fever in the afternoon. The stool had an unusual smell and acid odor, with watery consistency. The baby had previously been prescribed Rizqing and probiotics, but there was no improvement in the condition. What medication should be taken, and what food is advisable?
Answer
The baby may have intestinal fever caused by gastrointestinal cold. It is recommended to drink some warm water (start with small amounts and increase if not vomiting, then eat light, thin porridge). Eat light foods, apply cold compresses to the abdomen (to prevent burns), keep warm and avoid cold, sweet, and spicy foods. Temporarily avoid eating eggs and hard-to-digest foods. It is advisable to go to the hospital for intravenous treatment. The doctor asked: Is the baby vomiting?
