Patient's question:
In recent days, my boss has said that I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. What kind of medicine should a 10-month-old infant with rotavirus take?Doctor's answer:
The correct treatment method is to correct the child's dehydration and acidosis as soon as possible. For children with mild symptoms, oral rehydration can be used to correct the condition. The commonly used oral rehydration solution is the one recommended by the World Health Organization, with the following formula: 3.5 grams of sodium chloride, 2.5 grams of sodium bicarbonate, 1.5 grams of potassium hydroxide, and 20 grams of glucose, mixed with 1000 milliliters of water. The child can drink this as if it were water. For children with more severe symptoms, intravenous fluids can be used to correct dehydration and acidosis.
