Parents are definitely worried when their babies get sick. Generally, if the illness is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner. There are many reasons that can cause fever, such as a cold or other reasons. Many parents are nervous when their children experience discomfort and do not know what to do. So what should I do if my ten month old baby has abdominal pain and fever?
If the baby has abdominal pain, it is recommended to first undergo abdominal ultrasound examination to check if it is caused by mesenteric lymphadenitis. If the baby also has a fever and poor appetite, intravenous infusion is generally recommended for treatment, which will be more effective. If left untreated, it is easy to recur in the future. Of course, the treatment principle is still mainly anti-inflammatory and antiviral. If the white blood cell count is low, it may also be related to viral infection.
It is also possible that it is caused by intussusception, a disease that many parents are not familiar with. Generally, babies aged 2-3 will suffer from this disease, with symptoms such as abdominal pain, which will gradually disappear or alleviate after a while, but will recur. This disease can be diagnosed by observing the baby's stool. If the stool is jam like or red, it can be basically determined that it is, and immediate medical attention should be sought.
If parents cannot confirm the cause, they must take their baby to the hospital for examination before treatment to confirm the condition, and then choose appropriate methods for treatment. Blindly treating at home may delay the baby's condition.
