What should I do if my baby has a fever of 38 degrees and diarrhea?

When children have frequent fevers, parents will feel that their children are in poor health. Children who often have fevers have poor resistance and are therefore prone to infection. Sometimes we don’t know how to enhance our children’s resistance, but when we see our children sick, we don’t know what to do. Our children always have fevers and diarrhea. What should we do? Let’s find out what to do if your baby has a fever of 38 degrees and diarrhea?

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.

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.

Clean the baby's buttocks in time. The baby's buttocks will become red and painful due to diarrhea. Parents should wash the baby's buttocks in time after the baby has defecated. Try to wash it with warm water. 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.

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.

The question of what to do if the baby has a fever of 38 degrees and diarrhea has an answer. In fact, babies always have diarrhea, sometimes it is physiological and sometimes it is pathological. We just want to let the children exercise more and improve their body resistance, so that the children can get sick less and the baby's body can become healthier.
