Brief Answer:
The fever and diarrhea can be related to a gastrointestinal infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again dear,
The fever and diarrhea can be related to a gastrointestinal infection.
I suggest to do a stool test to confirm the cause of the diarrhea.
Menawhile, for the fever you can use Acetaminophen three tablets a day.
I suggest to use daily probiotics.
I also suggest to use an electrolyte solution such as Pedialyte to replace the minerals that you lose through the diarrhea.
I suggest to drink a lot of liquids and eat a healthy fiber rich diet.
Hope my answer was helpful.
Take care dear,
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
