Suggest Treatment For Persistent Fever And Diarrhea
My granddaughter has had 100 degree fever for 5 days, had diarrhea -since stopped and has not had a bowel movement in 2 days, won t eat, cries a lot, sleeps little. My daughter says they just keep shoving meds for her but nothing has worked. What should she be looking for or watching? I don t think the baby should have all this for so long. She just turn 1 a few days ago. Thank you Teresa Update--Meds were just amoxicillin, baby Tylenol and ibuprofen

Just get evaluation for intestinal obstruction. first by abdominal xray.then if no evidence of obstruction stop all medicines you taking. give antispasmodic dicyclomine stat. paracetamol for fever. consider antibiotics if hemogram is abnormal and stool microscopy giving some clue.
