Patient's question:
A few days ago, my child experienced vomiting again, had one episode of diarrhea, and felt weak all over. Now the vomiting has stopped, but the calf is still sore and weak, making it difficult to walk normally.Previous treatment and outcomes:
- Received Azithromycin and Ganoderma lucidum once.
- Received Doxycycline and Ganoderma lucidum twice.
What kind of help is needed:
- The true cause of the sore calf. Could it be caused by parasites?
Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
The baby has experienced nausea, vomiting, and dry heaves again, which may be caused by a digestive tract infection. It is clear that the calf is very soft, which could indicate a recurrence of hypokalemia or the onset of acute benign myositis.Advice: It is necessary to pay attention to electrolyte tests and, if necessary, provide the baby with potassium supplementation. At the same time, it is important to monitor creatine kinase levels to determine if acute benign myositis has recurred. If needed, focus on antiviral treatment.
