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 check result may be pediatric autumnal diarrhea. Rotavirus infection-induced diarrhea is also known as autumnal diarrhea, which commonly occurs in autumn and winter. It is a self-limiting disease, generally without specific medication for treatment. Most children will naturally stop having diarrhea within about a week. In many underdeveloped areas with limited access to medical care and medicine, without drug treatment, just relying on oral rehydration, the vast majority of children can also recover. The issue 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 quite serious.
