What should I do if my child has diarrhea and fever? These steps can improve

If a child has diarrhea and fever, it is mostly caused by gastrointestinal diseases. It also means that the child is weak and easily attacked by viruses. So what solutions can young parents use at this time?

1. Diarrhea is the most common gastrointestinal disease in infants and young children. The root cause of diarrhea in babies is poor immune function and weak resistance to viruses and bacteria. When the intestines are infected, it is easy to get diarrhea. At the same time, if the baby is fed too much, food accumulation will cause diarrhea in the baby. In addition, allergies, colds, etc. will also be accompanied by diarrhea symptoms. During the period of acute diarrhea in babies, they should fast for a short period of time, generally not more than 8 hours.

2. If necessary, let the baby take cefuroxime granules orally. At the same time, the temperature, humidity and air concentration in the baby's bedroom should be appropriate. The baby should be dressed appropriately and covered with quilts, and be sure to keep the baby's abdomen warm. If your baby's bedroom is dry, you can put a few basins of water in the room or add a humidifier.

3. If a child has diarrhea and fever, it means that there are bacteria or inflammation in the baby's body, causing the child's body temperature to start to rise. Let the child drink more water and perform physical cooling. If the child's physical resistance is relatively good, the fever will subside. If the body temperature cannot be lowered, you can use antipyretics.

4. If a child has diarrhea and fever, it may be caused by food accumulation turning into heat, or it may be acute enteritis. You can use oral liquid to eliminate the accumulation and digest food, or use Jianer Qingjie liquid and other heat-clearing treatments. Check your child's routine stool test. If it is really enteritis, then very aggressive treatment is needed, such as anti-inflammatory treatment such as amoxicillin, cefixime, etc.

5. If the doctor says that the baby's stool test is normal and there is no inflammation, the baby may have a mild fever and diarrhea caused by indigestion. In addition to drug treatment, diet and care are equally important. If the baby is breastfeeding, you do not need to stop breastfeeding, but the mother should avoid greasy and spicy foods, and drink a glass of warm water 30 minutes to 1 hour before feeding to dilute the milk.
