Vomiting, diarrhea, and fever

It is summer now and the temperature is very high. Many things can easily spoil. In summer, everyone must pay attention to their diet and not eat spoiled food. Eat less food from the roadside. Also, do not drink cold drinks immediately after sweating, otherwise it will easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Summer is the high-incidence season for gastroenteritis. Generally, patients with gastroenteritis will show symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea and fever when an attack occurs.

Children's body resistance is very weak. They will have diarrhea or vomiting after eating some indigestible food or catching a cold. This is very harmful to the baby's health. Therefore, when parents find anything unusual about their children, they must take them to the hospital for examination in time.

The causes of vomiting, diarrhea and fever in children may be viral or bacterial infections, or they may be caused by parasites, antibiotics or milk allergies. Diarrhea in older babies may also be related to drinking too much juice. The most common causes of diarrhea in babies are:

Gastroenteritis: It is one of the most common causes of diarrhea in children and can occur in infants, children and adults. Gastroenteritis can be caused by many different viruses. The most common pathogen is rotavirus. Half of the babies hospitalized for diarrhea are infected with this virus, which is more common in late autumn and early winter. If your baby has symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, in addition to diarrhea, accompanied by stomach cramps, vomiting, low fever and other symptoms, it is likely caused by gastroenteritis.

Bacterial infection: If a baby has severe diarrhea, accompanied by vomiting, abdominal pain, bloody stools, and fever, it is often caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Some of these infections can heal on their own, but others can be very serious. Therefore, if your baby has symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, you should take your baby to see a doctor as soon as possible.

From the above introduction, it can be seen that there are many reasons for vomiting, diarrhea and fever in babies. Parents should not be too anxious when they find that their children have such symptoms. They must think about the cause of the disease. Only when the cause is found can they prescribe the right medicine. In addition, when children are sick, parents must not give them medicine easily. They must take it under the supervision of a doctor.
