Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:
Pediatric diarrhea is a group of diseases caused by multiple pathogens and factors, with nausea and vomiting as the primary symptoms. The main characteristics include an increase in the frequency and change in the consistency of bowel movements, which may be accompanied by symptoms such as fever, dry vomiting, and abdominal pain, as well as varying degrees of water, electrolyte, and acid-base imbalance. Gentamicin sulfate has ototoxicity and should not be used in children. Since nausea and vomiting are not suitable for antibiotic treatment, if the symptoms are severe but occur less than three times a day and are in large quantities, it is recommended to seek medical attention at a formal hospital. If the symptoms are mild, careful observation can be done first, paying attention to preventing rain, and it is advised to stop snacks, feed on a schedule with fixed quantities, and consider taking lactobacillus tablets and montmorillonite powder to enhance digestion and absorption.
