loose motion and fever treatment - #17981

Om

I am really stressed out, like my kids been having this weird combo of loose motion and fever for the last few days. It started with my youngest last weekend. He was playing outside and then suddenly said his tummy hurt, and the next thing I know, he was having loose motion. And then, later that night, he developed a fever. I thought maybe it was just something he ate, but then my other child got the same symptoms too! It's like a contagious loose motion and fever thing or something! I’ve been giving them lots of fluids, which seems to help a bit but they can’t hold anything down sometimes. The pediatrician said to just wait it out but it feels never-ending. Have you heard of any better loose motion and fever treatment at home or do I need to take them back to the doc? I've heard about all sorts of remedies, even some I know are just myths. Should I try something else like probiotics? What is the best way to manage loose motion and fever treatment? Or should I worry more? Really, it’s stressing me out seeing them like this. Any advice would be super helpful!

Doctors' responses

It sounds like your kids might be dealing with a viral gastroenteritis, which commonly causes symptoms like loose motions and fever. It’s pretty typical for it to spread easily amongst kids, given close contact. You’ve been doing the right thing by ensuring they stay hydrated, as this is crucial since diarrhea can quickly lead to dehydration. Oral rehydration solutions (ORS) are ideal because they replace lost electrolytes. If they struggle to keep fluids down, try giving small sips frequently instead of large quantities at once. Probiotics can sometimes aid recovery by balancing gut flora, but they’re not a guaranteed fix. As long as there’s no blood in the stools, persistent high fever, or signs of severe dehydration (like dry mouth, sunken eyes, or they’re very lethargic), it might be merely a waiting game. However, if any such red flags appear, you should definitely seek medical advice again. Over-the-counter medications for diarrhea are usually not recommended for kids under certain ages unless directed by a doctor, as they can sometimes make things worse. Keep an eye on their activity levels and whether they’re urinating reasonably often, as these are indicators of general hydration and energy. As for diet, offer bland foods like rice, bananas, or toast once they’re able to eat without vomiting. If symptoms persist beyond a few days or if you feel any concern about their condition, don’t hesitate to take them back to the pediatrician for another check-up. It’s always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to kids’ health.
