What Causes Fever Along With Poor Appetite And Diarrhea?

My one year old has had a fever going on 4 days. I tooks her to the doctors but they told me it was virus. I never knew of a virus to cause such high temperatures (the highest its been is 105.6). My daughter is pale, sunken eyes, poor appetite (still nursing though), she has diarrhea and she is very fussy. Is this a virus or could it be an infection?

Hi,

I have gone through the medical history of your children and am sorry for the situation they are in.

What they are experiencing is an acute gastroenteritis (bowel infection) caused by virus.

I advise to:
- monitor their body temperature and take anti-pyretic meds when it is high
- let them drink plenty of fluids with ORS
- give tasectan for diarrhea
- give probiotics to normalize intestinal flora

Please do follow up with their pediatrician for a more specific assistance.

Wish fast recovery!
