Patient's question:
The baby started having diarrhea yesterday morning and had seven or eight bowel movements all day, with two being less frequent... and were given, and later was also administered, but none of them worked. As of now this morning, there have been three more bowel movements, and the buttocks are already red. What should the doctor do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
This season is the peak time for nausea and vomiting, and based on your description, it is likely that your child is experiencing nausea and vomiting due to the autumn season. Autumn nausea and vomiting are caused by rotavirus infection, and the treatment primarily involves rehydration and anti-diarrheal measures. You can focus on using Montmorillonite powder for your child, and if necessary, consult a pediatrician for guidance on rehydration. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital's pediatric department for a follow-up visit and let the doctor provide specific treatment guidance. After your child has a bowel movement, you can use talcum powder appropriately to prevent nausea and vomiting from causing irritation to the anal mucosa. Pay attention to ensuring your child drinks plenty of fluids.
