What should I do if my child has diarrhea after a fever?

It is necessary for families to know what to do if children have diarrhea after having a fever. After all, fever can pose a great threat to children's health, especially when high fever occurs, it can also induce convulsions, which shows that the problem is very serious. Even diarrhea can hinder the body's absorption of nutrients, which can lead to malnutrition over time. Therefore, families need to adopt correct methods as soon as possible to regulate and improve their children's health.

1. If the child has a fever both during the day and at night, it means that there is internal heat or inflammation in the body. Parents can cut the bitter gourd into thin slices, take 10 slices, add water and boil for 5 to 10 minutes, then give it to the child to drink, 2 to 3 times a day. When the child no longer has a fever during the day, stop drinking it. At the same time, try to let your child drink more water, eat fresh fruits, and have a relatively light diet. He cannot eat fish or shrimp, and can only eat other meats and vegetables.

2. If the child's body temperature is normal during the day, but rises in the evening and subsides in the morning, it means that the child's fever is caused by severe cold and deficiency in the body. At this time, you should still give the child ginger, brown sugar and onion water. It is best to soak the feet in mugwort water to dispel the cold. You can also let the child drink broth and light chicken soup. Guyuan paste can be taken twice a day, half a spoonful each time, to supplement the child with nutrition in time. At the same time, let the child drink more water.

3. For children over 2 years old, parents can help them massage. First rub the soles of the child's feet to draw the heat downwards. After the feet are warm, rub the calves, up and down. After the calves are warm, rub the child's hands, arms, back and ears. Finally, rub the Baihui point in the center of the top of the child's head. Parents should not use too much force when massaging their children. They should rub gently and not too fast. They should rub slowly and gently. They should not be in a hurry. While rubbing, they should let the children drink more warm water.

4. If the child's fever does not subside, wipe the child's entire body with warm water, rub the child's skin with a towel until it turns red and hot, and let the child's body dissipate heat on its own. If the child still has cold hands and feet, it means that he has caught a severe cold. Parents can give the child ginger, brown sugar and scallion water to drink several times in a row. After this treatment, the child's temperature will most likely cool down.

Through the above introduction, everyone will know clearly what to do if children have diarrhea after fever. It is very important to take precautions in advance and prevent the occurrence of diseases so that children's health will not be threatened. In addition, you should consult a doctor promptly after the onset of the disease, but you cannot use medication blindly. After all, the child is still young and medication should be used with caution.
