Question
How should one treat a three-year-old child who suddenly develops high fever and diarrhea?
Answer
The child is likely suffering from viral enteritis, with main symptoms including high fever and vomiting. First, the child should be administered antipyretic medication, such as nimesulide, which typically provides relief for about five hours after a single dose. Additionally, it is recommended to collect the child’s stool for testing to determine if there are other pathogens involved. For vomiting, precautions should be taken to prevent dehydration, and if there is no significant weight loss, the child can be given a focus on taking montmorillonite powder.
