What to do when kids have diarrhea and medication isn’t improving the situation?
Children often cry and have a bit of diarrhea, but only once every 1 or 2 days. What’s even more distressing is that they start vomiting within 10-20 minutes after eating, including water. Whatever they eat, they end up vomiting it all up. They are very hungry and want to eat, but as soon as they do, they vomit. The medicine prescribed by the hospital was only taken twice and both times it was vomited up. They don’t like taking medicine and it’s forced down their throats. The doctor prescribed a syrup that they also refused to drink. I’m at a loss as to what to do, and I’m very upset.
It is not recommended to administer vaccines during a feverish period. It is advisable to wait until the child has fully recovered and at least a month after the fever subsides before scheduling vaccination. Vaccines contain live bacteria, and if administered when the child is not in optimal health, they may cause stronger reactions, such as fever in about 90% of children after the DTP vaccine. During the feverish period, it is important to closely monitor the child’s body temperature and provide light meals, encouraging them to drink plenty of water.
If a child’s body temperature exceeds 37 degrees Celsius, it should be considered a fever. It is recommended to observe the child closely and use fever-reducing medication promptly.
When a seven-month-old baby has a fever, it is important to first determine the cause of the fever and not to immediately administer ceftriaxone to avoid delaying treatment. If the condition is severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and use antibiotics under a doctor’s guidance.

Baby colds are usually caused by viral infections and do not require antibiotics. However, if symptoms such as tonsillitis, pneumonia, or bronchitis occur, antibiotics should be used under a doctor’s guidance. It is recommended to bring the child to a pediatric department for consultation, take precautions against catching a cold when going out, and check for signs of pneumonia. Treatments should be tailored according to the examination results.
