Question
What should I do if a 5-year-old child has diarrhea and a high fever?
Answer
Based on the symptoms you described, the child may have acute gastroenteritis, accompanied by fever. It is advisable to take the child to a pediatric gastroenterology department for further diagnosis and treatment, which may include symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and fluid therapy. At the same time, pay attention to any changes in the child’s condition and ensure adequate fluid intake.
