Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea With Persistent Fever

Drink as much salt-sugar solution as possible
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
Diarrhea with persisting fever indicates acute bacterial gastero enteritis.Now he is feeling cold,weak,and have rapid breathing-this indicates that a significant proportion of the circulatory volume has been lost through the stools without replacement,and he is having hypotension and acidosis.This is a medical emergency.Do not wait for the investigation reports;rush to the emergency department for prompt correction of dehydration with intravenous fluids.
Meanwhile,take oral rehydrating solution (WHO-ORS),as much as possible.Take in small frequent sips to avoid nausea.If this is not available,take rice water with added salt,or mix sugar and salt in water in 3:1 ratio.
After correcting the dehydration,ask him to take ORS,around 250 ml after each stools.Also,as there is persisting fever,antibiotics is to be added.Your doctor will guide you in this.
Hope I have answered your query.
Wishing for a faster cure,
Regards,Dr Aslam.
