Suggest Treatment For Fever And Diarrhea
Hi my brother is 10yr old he got up this morning with a fever of 101.8 I got the temperature to go down with liquids and ice packs also had him take a shower. About 2pm he started having diarrhea. The lowest his temperature has been with in the day is 99.0 but it keeps going up.

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having acute gastro-enteritis giving reaise fever and loose motions.
This can be due to taking some contaminated food.
Give him paracetamol for fever.
He might require ofloxacilin, tinidazole combination medicine for 3days.
give him plenty of water and electrolytes and keep him well hydrated.
Give him light food like curd, rice, buttermilk.
Ok and take care.
