Question
A three-month-old baby, who has been healthy since birth except for not having teeth, was admitted to the hospital for bronchitis caused by fever. After five days of hospitalization and daily intravenous drips (including anti-inflammatory and antipyretic medications), the doctor prescribed antipyretic drugs. But soon after, the baby started having diarrhea, sometimes even after feeding.
Answer
This symptom could be a side effect of the medication or a gastrointestinal disorder caused by the fever. Some medications may also cause gastrointestinal reactions, leading to these symptoms. It is recommended to use medications with fewer side effects. Additionally, gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by the fever may also lead to these symptoms. It is suggested to treat with Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid and take Huoxiang Pouji. Avoid overeating and give the gastrointestinal tract a rest; drink plenty of water. It is best to continue with intravenous treatment as well. Oral medications can easily cause dry heaves, especially those with strong gastrointestinal reactions. Survival Care: Moreover, avoid eating indigestible, greasy, or cold foods. It is best to eat porridge; the diet should be light, and drink plenty of water.
