How to regulate acute gastroenteritis in children

Patient's question:

The child has been sick for more than two weeks. Today, I took them to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said to give the child more water and porridge, but the child vomits everything they eat and cannot keep any food down. I'm truly worried sick. After a week, there's no improvement in their condition, and they've lost a lot of weight.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is recommended to first reduce inflammation and relieve pain; then control the condition; and pay attention to diet, encouraging the child to eat more rough fiber foods that are easier to digest, which requires gradual adjustment. The child has been affected by acute pediatric gastritis, so the mother must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately to avoid blindly using over-the-counter medications. Rational medication is necessary. For parents, it is essential to provide the child with enough care and attention, and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely medical treatment for the illness.
