Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Fever and diarrhea usually indicates acute gastro enteritis. Most of these are viral and needs only supportive treatment with paracetamol and adequate fluid intake for 3-5 days.

Here loose stools started on day 4 of fever, which is a bit odd and it is already 5 days, and she still has fever. So kindly take her to your doctor as this may need antibiotic treatment. Meanwhile, give her paracetamol for fever and give frequent sips of fluids like ORS solution after each stools to prevent dehydration

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
