What to do if a child has a fever or diarrhea

Many babies will suffer from diarrhea when they have a fever, which is a problem that parents are very concerned about. Moreover, if babies experience such symptoms, it means that other diseases will definitely occur. This will definitely lead to serious consequences. Therefore, parents must pay attention to this. I believe every parent wants to know about the treatment methods for children's fever and diarrhea. Let's take a look at what to do if a child has a fever or diarrhea.

What should I do if my child has fever and diarrhea?

Infant diarrhea (also known as indigestion) is a clinical syndrome caused by different causes. It mainly occurs in infants under 2 years old and can be divided into two acute types. Mild diarrhea: several to more than ten times a day, the stool is egg drop soup-like, occasional galactorrhea and vomiting, mild abdominal distension, etc. Severe diarrhea: more than ten times a day, up to dozens of times, watery stool, vomiting, fever, gray complexion, irritability, and even coma, convulsions, and symptoms such as dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Infant diarrhea is one of the main indications for acupuncture therapy. Acupuncture therapy has a significant effect on infantile diarrhea.

It has been proven that acupuncture can not only be used to treat mild diarrhea, but also has a significant effect on hospitalized cases of severe diarrhea when combined with Chinese and Western medicine.

Diagnostic points: 1. Stool is passed more than four times a day and is yellow egg drop soup-like, green watery or white rice soup-like, with a small amount of mucus and no thick blood visible to the naked eye.

2. No ameba or other protozoa were found in fecal microscopy.

3. No growth of pathogenic bacteria such as dysentery and Salmonella was found in stool culture.

4. If conditions permit, special pathogenic bacteria culture (Escherichia coli, Campylobacter jejuni, Yersinia, etc.) can be performed.

5. The medical history should pay attention to diarrhea caused by dietary or infectious factors. Rotavirus diarrhea, the most common disease in recent years, may be accompanied by fever, nausea, vomiting and respiratory symptoms before or at the same time as the onset of the disease.

1. Apply a fever-reducing patch on the forehead;

2. Go to the pharmacy and buy Johnson & Johnson or Tylenol drops. There are two kinds of drops for the mouth, one for high temperatures above 38.5 degrees, and the other for low temperatures;

3. Use warm water to wipe the baby's body more often, which can physically cool down the baby, and this has the best effect;

4. Drink more warm boiled water and urinate to help reduce fever.

The above content is about the treatment methods for children's fever and diarrhea. I believe parents and friends have already seen and understood it. However, the fever and diarrhea conditions of each baby are different, so parents need to carefully observe their children's every move. Targeted treatment is required. If a particularly serious situation occurs, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for appropriate treatment.
