Question
How should one handle a child with a fever, cough, vomiting, and diarrhea?
Answer
Initially, it is suspected that the child may have a respiratory system infection and a dysfunction in the digestive system. It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination to determine the cause. Treatment should include the following measures: reasonable diet, enhanced care, and avoiding adverse stimuli. Vitamin C and B-complex vitamins can be given to promote digestion. For fever, Anrak can be used; for cough, dextromethorphan; for vomiting, Simeticon or tannic acid protein; and for dry heaves, vitamin B6. Depending on the condition, medications such as virazole, amoxicillin, and hydrocortisone can be chosen. The specific treatment plan should be followed under the doctor’s clinical guidance.
