Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what the symptoms of infantile gastroenteritis are and how to handle it?Doctor's answer:
Five to eight bowel movements per day, mild fever, no signs of dehydration. Bacterial enteritis can be treated with antibiotics. Due to the gradual change in bacterial resistance, medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor and as prescribed. Some patients stop taking medication as soon as their symptoms improve, only to develop chronic colitis due to insufficient treatment, which may not heal over time and affect the child's nutrition and health.
