What medicine should children take for diarrhea and fever

Diarrhea is a very common disease. After the onset of the disease, the patient may experience vomiting, fever, abdominal distension, sticky stools, and even bloody stools. In addition, if the diarrhea continues for a long time, the body will also show symptoms of dehydration. In severe cases, the patient will continue to feel nausea and vomiting, and will be particularly uncomfortable. In fact, children can be treated with these methods after they have a fever and diarrhea.

1. General treatment: Rest in bed as much as possible and take glucose-electrolyte solution orally to replenish fluid loss. If obvious dehydration occurs, intravenous supplementation of 5%-10% glucose saline and other relevant electrolytes is required. Encourage a light liquid or semi-liquid diet to prevent dehydration or treat mild dehydration.

2. Symptomatic treatment: Take or inject antipyretics if necessary. Such as ibuprofen, aspirin, etc.

3. Antimicrobial treatment: The therapeutic effect of antibiotics on this disease is controversial. For infectious diarrhea, targeted antibiotics such as berberine, gentamicin, etc. can be appropriately selected. However, the abuse of antibiotics should be prevented.

What to do with diarrhea and fever in adults: Dietary treatment

1. Reduce the intake of fat and crude fiber foods, as these foods can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and aggravate diarrhea. If someone is intolerant to milk, they should temporarily avoid consuming milk and its products.

2. Supplement the intake of high-protein and high-calorie foods. Patients often suffer from insufficient protein and calorie intake due to diarrhea, so they should increase the intake of high-protein and high-calorie foods to improve nutritional status, but do not consume too much, otherwise it will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

3. Foods with little residue often lack vitamins, especially vitamin C. You can choose some vegetable soup, fruit juice, tomato juice, etc. to prevent diarrhea accompanied by bleeding and strengthen tissue repair.

4. Taboo foods: such as coarse grains, raw and cold fruits and vegetables, cold mixed vegetables, etc., leeks, celery, pickled mustard tubers, etc. that are rich in crude fiber; hard and indigestible meats such as ham, sausage, bacon, etc.; irritating foods such as peppers, spirits, mustard, chili powder, as well as high-fat foods such as fatty meats and puff pastries.
