Hi ,my 18 months old boy has cold and high fevers since last 48 hours,I am giving motrin and tylnol alternatively to control his fever.And also he has loose poops some times .I think it is a flu ,my question is is that OK to continue those medicines and what to do to control his dierriah? .
If baby is playful and feeding well, need not worry now. Just continue anti-pyretics and give frequent sips of fluids like ORS, along with breast feeds to avoid dehydration. Take her to pediatrician if fever continues beyond 72 hours, stool become blood stained or he becomes lethargic and not feeding.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
