Question
I didn’t take the runny nose seriously two days ago, but since yesterday, the baby has had a high fever, accompanied by mild coughing and diarrhea. The fever rose again after six hours despite taking fever-reducing medication. I would like to know how to handle this situation.
Answer
It may be an intestinal fever caused by cold in the gastrointestinal tract. It is recommended to drink warm water, eat a light diet, apply cold compresses to the abdomen, stay warm, avoid extremely cold, sweet, and spicy foods, and temporarily refrain from eating eggs and hard-to-digest foods. Monitor closely and focus on symptomatic treatment. Doctor’s Question: Are you vomiting?
