How to treat diarrhea?

Patient's question:

Started having diarrhea all day, then vomited the next day. The hospital diagnosed it as rotavirus. I was given IV saline for a day, and now I'm not having diarrhea or vomiting anymore. Am I better now? But the doctor said it takes seven days to recover. Do I still need treatment now?

Doctor's answer:

From the situation you described, if it is caused by rotavirus, it generally takes a bit longer. It is recommended to drink more water, eat a light diet, and consume easily digestible foods. Pay attention to sterilizing bottles and bowls. It is best to focus on taking medication and at least receive three days of intravenous drips.
Based on the symptoms you described, it is likely caused by increased gastrointestinal motility and intestinal flora imbalance. It is suggested that you take mosapride and cross-linked lactic acid bacteria capsules—mosapride helps improve gastrointestinal motility, while the capsules regulate intestinal flora disorders.
