Question
If a child has a fever accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea, how should it be handled?
Answer
When a child exhibits symptoms of fever, vomiting, and diarrhea, it is recommended to first avoid giving them cold, hard foods, and to ensure they drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. You can administer Mommy Love and Montmorillonite powder for treatment, and consider adding Lactase and Multienzyme tablets. Pay attention to keeping the child’s abdomen warm. If the child is formula-fed, ensure the milk temperature is appropriate. If the child is in good spirits, symptomatic treatment can be administered. Drinking plenty of water to avoid dehydration is advisable, and Danggui Er Duanji Paste can be used. Additionally, allowing the child to eat ripe apples can help regulate the gastrointestinal tract and aid in drying up stools. If the child is breastfed, the mother should also avoid catching a cold and should not consume cold foods immediately before or after breastfeeding to prevent the child from having diarrhea.
