Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of gastroenteric fever? How is it treated? An 8-year-old girl has a runny nose, nasal congestion, abdominal pain, and coughing. No fever.Previous treatment and effectiveness: Took cold medicine for 3 days, amoxicillin didn’t help, but abdominal pain eased.
What assistance is needed: What illness is it, and what medicine should be taken?
Doctor's answer:
This parent suggested giving the child oral traditional Chinese medicine granules for children's relief. Conduct a thorough examination of blood tests, stool tests, C-reactive protein, and other tests to check if the child has bacterial infection. If necessary, cooperate with medication treatment, clean the stool, and give the child oral smectite combined with probiotics. Have the child undergo a few abdominal ultrasound examinations to check if there is enlargement of the mesenteric lymph nodes. If the bacterial infection indicators are severe and the mesenteric lymph nodes are significantly enlarged, it is recommended to give the child intravenous treatment, combined with applying traditional Chinese medicine on the navel or oral traditional Chinese medicine for better effect. Hope this is helpful to you.
