What should I do if my 10-month-old son has diarrhea and a fever that keeps coming back every 5 to 6 hours since yesterday, even though I am giving him Crocin as needed?
It is common for fevers to return as paracetamol (Crocin) wears off, as it manages the temperature but does not cure the underlying infection. The most important step right now is preventing dehydration. Please offer him small, frequent sips of Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) alongside breast milk or formula. Since he has both a recurring fever and diarrhea, please have him evaluated by a pediatrician promptly to determine the cause and get the right treatment. Watch closely for signs of dehydration, such as lethargy, a dry mouth, or fewer wet diapers.
