Question

The child is 17 months old and went to the hospital four days ago for a consultation, diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis, symptoms include vomiting and diarrhea, and had a high fever at that time. Currently, the child does not vomit or have diarrhea after taking medication, is willing to eat congee and noodles, can drink water, but the spirit fluctuates between good and bad, and has had a low fever (38.4°C) since the last two days.

Answer

Hello, based on your description, this could very well be recurrent episodes of symptoms caused by acute gastroenteritis. It is recommended to combine oral norfloxacin capsules and drotaverine hydrochloride tablets, and you can also apply a fever-reducing patch to lower the fever. Additionally, oral rehydration salts should be taken to prevent dehydration.
