Patient's question:
A four-month-old baby has been experiencing vomiting and diarrhea, with a rotavirus weak positive result. Currently, they are having four bowel movements a day, with the stool being watery and resembling curd-like consistency. The baby appears to have sunken eyes and fontanelle, but their mental state is good. At home, they are being given oral rehydration solution. How should this be consumed? How many milliliters should be given per day? Should the saltwater be continuously administered? Last night at 5 p.m., this morning at 5 a.m., and at 7 a.m., the baby urinated, and the urine was yellow.Doctor's answer:
You can take other medications while using oral rehydration salts, and there are no interactions. As for how much to drink each time, there are no specific requirements. It needs to be chosen based on the specific situation, but it's best to have the child drink as much as possible, otherwise the body may not absorb enough water.The above advice is for the question, "Should a four-month-old baby with rotavirus weakly positive for vomiting and diarrhea drink saline?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
