Full transcript
Thanks for bringing your daughter in today—can you tell me exactly when the diarrhoea started, and roughly how many times she's been going today?
Ilianza jana asubuhi, daktari. Amekwenda chooni karibu mara sita hadi sasa, na kinyesi chake ni majimaji sana.
Has she had any fever, vomiting, or noticed any blood or mucus in her stool since yesterday evening?
Hana homa wala kutapika, lakini nimeona kama alama za damu kidogo kwenye kinyesi jana usiku, na hilo limenitisha sana.
It's essential that she drinks oral rehydration solution frequently throughout the day, even if she refuses solid food for now, to prevent dehydration.
Nitajaribu kumpa maji ya ORS mara kwa mara, ingawa anakataa kunywa mara nyingi kwa sababu hapendi ladha yake.
If her symptoms don't improve within forty-eight hours, or if she becomes unusually drowsy or won't drink fluids, please bring her straight back to Monash Children's Hospital.
Nimeelewa. Kama hataboreka ndani ya masaa arobaini na nane au akiwa mchovu sana, nitamrudisha hospitalini Monash Children's mara moja.
I'll check her temperature now—it's currently thirty-eight point two degrees, which is only mildly elevated, so that's somewhat reassuring at this stage.
Asante kwa kumpima. Nashukuru kwamba homa yake si kali sana, lakini bado ninaogopa kwa sababu ni mtoto mdogo.
Please avoid giving her dairy products, fruit juice, or sugary drinks until her stools return to normal consistency for at least a full day.
Sawa, nitaepuka kumpa maziwa, juisi, au vinywaji vyenye sukari mpaka choo chake kirudi kuwa cha kawaida kabisa.
