Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have persistent loose stools, stomach pain and fever which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis/ viral infection.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to t

- Take acetaminophen for fever in dosage of 15mg/kg.

- Take plenty of fluids to rehydrate. You should do tepid sponging as well.

- Take proper rest.

Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done to find out underlying cause of fever whether bacterial or viral and start treatment accordingly. You can take paracetamol along with antacids/ proton pump inhibitors.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
