How is the baby having fever and loose bowels? What should I do?

The baby has diarrhea and fever, usually digestive tract infection. Digestive tract infections are usually bacterial, such as Salmonella, Shigella or pathogenic Escherichia coli.

What should we do? We usually need to go to the hospital. The hospital can do routine stool examination for children to see if there are red blood cells and pus balls in the stool. You can do stool culture to see if Salmonella or Shigella can be cultivated by stool culture. Then, give the child an intravenous drip to avoid dehydration. To fight infection, use some antibiotics to kill this salmonella and Shigella, and let the baby have a fever to stop diarrhea.

This situation may be caused by the digestive system under the influence of rising body temperature. At this time, children can be given antipyretic drugs to reduce their fever. If there is infection, anti-infective drugs can also be used to relieve diarrhea symptoms. If the child is seriously ill, rehydration should be carried out in time. Children with fever and diarrhea must eat some light and digestible food, and don't eat some greasy food.

Children with fever and diarrhea need to go to the hospital in time. If there is no problem with blood routine, C protein routine and stool routine, then viral enteritis is considered to be caused by viral infection. In this case, it is mainly symptomatic support treatment. Drink more warm water, and the diet is light and easy to digest. Eggs, beef and mutton must not be eaten, and raw and cold food should not be eaten.

The whole course will last about seven days. There is no specific medicine for this kind of diarrhea. Common antiviral infection has no effect on shortening the course of disease. If the examination shows that it is caused by bacterial infection, it is diarrhea and fever caused by bacterial infectious diarrhea. This situation needs to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor or in a hospital. The treatment of anti-infection and correction of water and electrolyte disorders also needs to combine probiotics.
