Patient's question:
For several days, I've been having diarrhea and went to the hospital for a blood test. Rotavirus detection and stool test were conducted, but since the child didn't have a bowel movement, the doctor prescribed Lian Yin Ning oral liquid, Compound Syzygium aromaticum and Ocimum basilicum oral suspension, and Lysine Gluconate Zinc particles. After taking it for one day, the diarrhea still persists. What should I do? Thank you.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Initially, I applied a topical patch at home.
What kind of help do you need: What should I do next?
Doctor's answer:
The baby might have viral gastroenteritis, which can cause symptoms such as dry cough, nausea, vomiting, fever, and diarrhea. It is recommended to have the baby tested for a complete blood count and a stool test for confirmation, and then prescribe medication based on the specific condition. If the intestinal function is disrupted, probiotics or other live bacterial medications can be taken to help regulate the intestines. At the same time, it is important to provide the baby with adequate fluids, as diarrhea can lead to significant fluid loss. It is advisable to feed the baby with rice soup or porridge to reduce gastrointestinal pressure and increase sugar intake.
