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

Children often catch colds and fevers during their growth and development. However, some children start having diarrhea again in the past two days after their fever subsides after getting injections and taking medicine. Parents don’t know what causes this? Due to the lack of medical knowledge, we are helpless in the face of children's illnesses. So what should we do when children have diarrhea or fever?

Types of baby diarrhea

Antibiotics should not be abused when babies have diarrhea caused by viruses, because antibiotics are not only ineffective, but will also kill the normal intestinal flora, causing flora disorders and aggravating diarrhea. Also, do not give antidiarrheal drugs casually to prevent the excretion of pathogens and toxins.

We can directly supplement normal physiological bacteria to maintain the balance of intestinal flora, carefully remove the bacteria in the intestine that are harmful to humans, treat acute diarrhea or habitual constipation caused by dysbiosis, and pay attention to the baby's rest and do not take any anti-inflammatory drugs.
