What Causes Diarrhea Along With High Fever In An Infant?
Hi..my child is 10 months old. He is suffering from diarrhoea since last 4 days. The motions are very frequent and like water. It is cmng after whatever he drinks like milk etc. On first day, he had very high fever @104°f along with diarrhoea. The doctor gave him calpol and dolor syrup for fever and zincat od for diarrohea. The fever was controlled on 1st day...but the diarrhoea is not being controlled. Along with zincat od (5ml once a day), the doctor also suggested entamizole syrup 2.5 ml thrice a day and it is more than 24hrs, but the diarrohea has not slowed down even a bit. What to do..can anyone do some give suggestion plz
Diarrhea in children may be due to many causes like rota virus infection or amoebic or bacillary dysentery, etc. Give him plenty of oral fluids with mother Brest milk.
Use enterogermina tubes twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your pediatrician he will advice stool examination and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
