Suggest Treatment For Fever, Digestion Issues And Sleeplessness
my 2 year old son had very smelly poop 2 weeks ago. Now he has a high fever and farts a lot.....we called a doctor but he has no symptoms to be seen ( throat,ears, breathing ok). it s been 2 days we give him Tylenol to bring the fever down....he does normally though , does not look sleepy or else. What could he have that creates the fever and the digestion issues ? could it be related ? like a gluten issue ?
Hi...this looks like viral illness. This definitely doesn't look like a gluten problem.
Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. 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.
I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment.
