Patient's question:
My son is one week old. Last night, he first started vomiting, then he had diarrhea. Whatever he eats, he has diarrhea, and whatever milk he drinks, he has diarrhea. He's even started to have bowel movements, and it's all full of milk that isn't being absorbed. What could be the reason for this?Past treatment history and effectiveness: I went to a nearby doctor, and they said it was due to the season, with nausea and vomiting.
The kind of help I need: Hello, how should I treat him? I'm afraid he can't handle it.
Doctor's answer:
According to the narrative you purchased, the consideration is rotavirus gastroenteritis, which is an intestinal inflammation caused by rotavirus. It primarily affects infants and young children aged 6 to 24 months. It is mainly spread through the fecal-oral route. If a child's feeding utensils or food are not clean, or if the child has habits such as eating without washing their hands or biting their fingers, it is easy for the child to contract rotavirus, which can then lead to nausea and vomiting. Rotavirus gastroenteritis is a self-limiting disease with a natural course of 3 to 8 days, averaging about 5 days. Since it is caused by a virus, antibiotic treatment is generally not required.
