Patient's question:
The child started having diarrhea with vomiting yesterday afternoon. It was like water at first, then like egg-like consistency. The frequency was high, about 5-6 times in the afternoon. They also had a fever at midnight, but it quickly subsided after taking fever-reducing medication. Moreover, they didn’t urinate all night, which seemed to indicate dehydration.Test and examination results: It was diagnosed as enteritis.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: This morning, the child went to the hospital for an IV drip. They used penicillin (800,000 units), cimetidine, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and icaritin injections. A total of three injections were given, but the effect was not good. Five hours after returning home, they had another 5-6 episodes of diarrhea.
Doctor's answer:
The symptoms are likely related to digestive discomfort-induced nausea and vomiting or bacterial infection of the intestines. It is recommended to conduct further stool tests for diagnosis to check for the presence of white blood cells. Avoid taking medication blindly. For intestinal inflammation, you can take Cefixime Suspension or Coptis Rhizoma Tablets for treatment. If the stool test results are normal, it may be due to cold exposure or digestive discomfort. In such cases, it is advisable to take probiotics, Montmorillonite Powder, and Carbotrit Tablets.
