Patient's question:
A four-month-old baby has been experiencing vomiting and diarrhea, with a rotavirus weak positive result. Currently, they are having four bowel movements a day, with watery, curd-like stools. Their fontanelles and orbits appear sunken, but their mental state is good. At home, they are being given oral rehydration solution (ORS). How should this be consumed? How many milliliters should be given per day? Should the ORS be administered continuously? Last night at 5 p.m., this morning at 5 a.m., and at 7 a.m., they urinated, and the urine was yellow.Doctor's answer:
You can take other medications while taking oral rehydration salts, and there is no interference. As for how much to drink each time, there are no specific requirements. It needs to be chosen based on the specific situation, but it's best to let the child drink as much as possible, otherwise the body may not absorb enough fluids.The above advice is for the question "Is it necessary to drink saline for a 4-month-old baby with rotavirus weakly positive and vomiting/diarrhea?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
