What to do if your baby has diarrhea after having a fever in August

Eight-month-old babies are very well-behaved and can understand a lot of words. Their parents love them very much and want to hold them in their arms every day. Sometimes, no matter how well we take care of our children and how attentively we look after them, they will still get sick. For example, having a fever is very normal, but sometimes children will have diarrhea after having a fever, and sometimes it is very serious. I don’t know what to do. So, what should we do if an eight-month-old baby has diarrhea after having a fever?

Regardless of whether the diarrhea is caused by bacterial infection or viral infection, in addition to medication, parents should also adjust their children's diet, give them light and easy-to-digest food or liquid food, and avoid eating cold, spicy or greasy food.

Supply water according to the situation. If the baby still has a high fever and diarrhea after the above treatment, you should consider whether it is acute enteritis or other diseases. You should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time, and don't delay the disease. Administer fluids according to doctor's instructions.

Keep your baby calm. If your baby has diarrhea, you should first calm the baby down and don't let the baby cry out of fear, as this will aggravate the condition. Then distract your baby so that he doesn't feel uncomfortable.

Help your baby cool down physically. If your baby has a fever, first put a cooling patch on his forehead to help lower his body temperature. If it does not exceed 38.5°C, there is no need to rush to take antipyretics. If the fever exceeds this level, give your baby antipyretics under the guidance of a doctor.

Clean your baby's bottom in time. The baby's buttocks may become red and painful due to diarrhea. Parents should wash the baby's buttocks in time after the baby has a bowel movement. Try to wash it with warm water and do not rub it hard with paper, as it will hurt the baby. If your butt is very red, you can apply some erythromycin eye ointment after washing and drying it.

Now we know what to do if the baby has diarrhea after having a fever in August. Sometimes we always want to give the best to the baby, but we always let the baby get sick. Maybe this is also an inevitable part of the growth process. However, when the baby is sick, we can't delay too much, because the baby's body will not be able to withstand such a disease for a long time.
