Is it necessary to take medicine for enteritis?

Patient's question:

I ate late the day before yesterday, vomited in the morning yesterday, then had stomach pain, diarrhea, and didn't eat well all day. I've had no appetite and a slight fever of 37.4 in the evening. Today, I had 3 or 4 bowel movements, all very loose, with little stomach pain but a lot of rumbling. It might be because I haven't eaten much these last two days, only eating porridge and boiled pears. I want to know if I should take medicine and what kind of medicine to take...

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: This may be caused by acute gastroenteritis. First, maintain a reasonable diet, get adequate rest, and keep the abdomen warm.
Suggestions for treatment: For nausea and vomiting, use Domperidone and Sulpiride; for diarrhea, use Smecta and Bismuth Subsalicylate; for fever, use Anrekiz; for infections, use Ciprofloxacin, etc. Follow the specific guidance of the clinical physician.
The child has been affected by acute pediatric gastritis, so the family must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately to avoid using medication blindly to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to promptly monitor the child's condition and provide as much support as possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
