Talk to Pediatrician on Getting Fever
Asking for Self, Male, 7 years old, Oman
Asking for my 7.5 months baby who is teething. His one tooth has appeared day before yesterday which is clearly visible now. He was alright till today afternoon. He has started getting fever after 1 o'clock and is passing sticky stool every hour in less quantity. I gave paracetamol thrice but the he gets fever of 38 C after 3.5 hrs again. Also yesterday evening I made Sagudana using his formula which was left opened for few months but has not yet expired. I gave only two spoons. He also had sweetmelon yesterday afternoon. What could be the reason? The diet or teething.. It's curfew here in Oman cannot go out
it's due to infection, start low osmolar ORS after every loose stool, about 1 to 2 ounces
enterogermina ampules once daily for 3 days, mixed in milk or yogurt
syp zinc half spoon daily for 2 weeks
use only boiled water

Dear Parent,
During teething kids put everything in their mouth which lead to infection and then diarrhea.
Powdered Formula milk after opening the Can or tub should be used within a month because there is very high risk of germs growth in it.
During loose motion ideal diet is Khichri, Yogurt and Banana. Avoid too much milk and juices.
Give him LowOsmolar ORS approx 3 ounces after each loose motion.
Give him Probiotic a sachet once a day for 3 days (which contain Saccharomyces Boulardii 250mg ).
Give him Syrup or tablet Zinc 20mg once a day for 14days.
For fever monitor it and can give Paracetamol.
Diarrhea takes time to settle but if your child develop fever more then 38C or blood in stool or become dull then consult to a doctor.
Hope it helps you.
