Doctor's answer:
Hello! Acute upper respiratory tract infection in children, accompanied by viral gastroenteritis, generally only requires symptomatic and supportive treatment, and most can recover well. Daily life should involve proper diet and enhanced care to prevent adverse effects. Digestion of vitamin C, B complex, etc., can be promoted. Nausea and vomiting can be treated with Montmorillonite powder, Dulasone, etc. Severe cases may require intravenous treatment. In the early stages, Ribavirin and Xiyin can be used if appropriate. The above information is for reference.
