Patient's question:
The child's stool test shows positive for rotavirus antigen in the intestines. They haven't eaten for two days but want to eat fruits. Is it okay?Doctor's answer:
This test result may be pediatric autumnal diarrhea. Rotavirus infection-induced diarrhea is also called autumnal diarrhea, which commonly occurs in autumn and winter. It is an self-limiting disease, generally without specific medication treatment. Most children will naturally stop having diarrhea within about a week. In many areas with limited medical resources and scarce medicine, without medication treatment, relying solely on oral rehydration, the vast majority of children can also recover. The problem lies in the fact that when severe vomiting and diarrhea occur, if rehydration is not timely, dehydration can quickly develop, and the consequences can be serious.
