Patient's question:
During the Spring Festival, I experienced vomiting and diarrhea, and after taking some probiotics, it improved. About a week later, I had another episode of vomiting and diarrhea, accompanied by a fever of 39°C. At 5 a.m., I went to the hospital and got an injection, after which the fever subsided. At 4 p.m. that afternoon, the fever returned, and the hospital recommended IV fluids. After two days of IV treatment, the child no longer had a fever or vomiting, but still had diarrhea. The stool was like steamed egg cake in texture, and the abdomen made a gurgling sound like water flowing.It's been two days since the IV treatment, and the child has had about 10 bowel movements in total. Is it normal for the child not to have diarrhea for a few days after the IV treatment, with the stool returning to a steamed egg cake consistency? Is this a normal reaction after IV treatment?
Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of the child are manifestations of acute gastroenteritis. If abdominal pain becomes severe again, it is necessary to have an abdominal ultrasound examination at the hospital.1. The treatment method should involve timely intravenous fluid therapy to prevent dehydration. The course of this disease is generally around seven days. Oral medications can include lactobacillus tablets and spores of living bacillus capsules. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
