What Causes Diarrhea And High Fever In A Toddler?

Hi- my three year old son was acting sick at dinnertime. He didn t eat much. He felt slightly warm. He has has diarrhea here and there the last couple days. I just took his temperature now before bed and it is 102.3. Should I be concerned, and/or anything I should be on the lookout for in terms of him getting worse?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I am sorry for the health problems your 3 year old son is going through.

Diarrhea, associated with high temperature are signs of acute gastroenteritis.
I advise to keep him well hydrated:
- encourage to drink plain water with oral rehydration salts
- give tasectan for diarrhea
- give probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora
- encourage to have only light meal (banana, rice, apple sauce, toast, yogurt) until fully recovered.
- give anti-pyretics to lower his high temperature

If no improvement, pediatrician to consult further and stool examination and culture to run for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Wish fast recovery.
