Brief Answer:
Can give Meftal-P
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear
Thanks for posting to us
I understand your concern
If no other symptoms associated, this is probably a viral illness.
We can expect high grade fever for next 48-72 hours. Until then, you can give Tylenol every 6 hours. You can give 2.5ml of Syrup Meftal-P(100mg/5ml) if fever is not subsiding in 1 hour of Tylenol, or if it returns before 6 hours.
If fever persists beyond 72 hours, or if additional symptoms appears, we can evaluate further
i hope this answer will help
take care.

Brief Answer:
Can wait for 4 days
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear
You can give 2.5ml of MeftalP syrup for 6.75kg
If no additional symptoms, we can wait for up to 4-5 days, provided baby is active and feeding well. Blood or urine tests are done if fever persists beyond this period or if baby is very tired looking/not taking feeds.

Brief Answer:
suggests acute gastro-enteritis
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
No need to worry- this indicates acute gastro-enteritis or food poisoning. Not from medicines.
We need not worry and no need to panic- this is a very common disease and will respond to antibiotics.
Also, I would like to do blood routine and urine routine(CBC, CRP, URE) at this stage. I am not aware of the tests you have already done today.
For such cases, I usually give cefixime(antibiotic), along with zinc and probiotic. Since you had a hospital visit today, you might have already given these. If not, I can guide you- get back to me if needed.
Meanwhile, give her ORS solution - 70-8-ml after each stools. Give in small sips to avoid vomiting. This will prevent dehydration

Brief Answer:
Not Typhoid fever
Detailed Answer:
Hello Vidhya,
Welcome back
Thank you for sharing reports and image- I have gone through the entire reports. Since fever has come down, she is improving and we need not worry.
I will address your concerns one by one:
1. It is not Typhoid fever. The culture isolated Salmonella enteritidis- it causes non-typhoidal salmonallosis, and not Typhoid. This is a less severe infection compared to typhoid
2. Bloody diarrhea is quite common in bowel infection- occur due to infection and sloughing of bowel mucosa during infection. It will settle as the infection gets controlled and mucosa heals. No worries.
3. Motion may take 7-10 days to get normalised. Nothing to worry if no fever and she is playful
4. Formula milk can be continued. Ensure to use clean, boiled water.
5. Usual diet okay, but avoid fruits/juices for 10 days
6. If taking enough milk, fluid may not be a problem
I hope you are relieved now
Take care
