Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is There Any Need Of Blood Examination If Fever Is Controlled?
10 months baby having frequent greenish loose motion 8-10 time per day, associated with mild persistent fever between 100-101 F from past 3 days, now on probiotics and fever control medication. Nothing alarming in stool examination. Please advice, if a blood examination should be done?
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. It seems your kid is having acute watery diarrhea. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements & ORS... Paracetamol can be given at 15mg/kg/day if temperature is > 100F. But if you are worried, kindly consult your pediatrician. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health. Dr. Sumanth MBBS., DCH., DNB (Paed).,
