Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My granddaughter is 2 1/2 years old and has had a fever for about a day and a half. The fever has ranged from 101.5-103.7. Her temperature is currently 103.7. She has not vomited, does not have diarrhea, and has been drinking and eating. She has eaten less but she will eat something. She is also in good spirits I prefer not to give her anything for the fever because I feel that her body is doing what it needs to do. Should I give her something to lower her temp or is it ok not to give her anything? Thank you in advance for any advice that you can offer. Kim
Understanding your concern. As per your query your granddaughter have symptoms of fever and diarrhea which seems to be due to overgrowth of bacteria in the small bowel.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to give child mashed banana and avoid food like dairy products , drink warm water and and eat light. For fever give mild dose of paracetamol. If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe H2 blockers , proton pump inhibitor along with antibiotics and anti inflammatory.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
