Patient's question:
Nausea, vomiting, night sweats, nausea, Previous treatment and effectiveness: Intravenous treatment, What kind of assistance do you care about: Is there a better treatment method?...Doctor's answer:
It might be enteritis, which is primarily caused by viruses, bacteria, and their decomposition metabolites attacking the intestinal wall, leading to intestinal mucosal edema and reduced permeability, resulting in symptoms. I suggest taking your child's stool to the hospital for testing to check if it's rotavirus infection. I'd like to provide you with a treatment plan:1. Antiviral treatment for the child: Oral or intravenous ribavirin (can be used for three days).
2. Antibacterial treatment for the child: Oral (e.g., gentamicin injection, which has a high polarity and is not absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, thus showing local effects) or intravenous (e.g., cefuroxime) antibiotics.
3. Symptomatic treatment for the child: If the child does not show significant weight loss (dehydration may lead to electrolyte imbalance, which can result in shock), oral pediatric oral rehydration solution can be used to replenish fluids. If severe, intravenous fluids are recommended. Additionally, taking montmorillonite powder can help adhere to viruses, bacteria, and their metabolites, reducing their ability to cause disease while also soothing diarrhea.
Your child is currently not having a bowel movement, so you can start with this treatment plan, but you must carefully monitor your child's condition, especially checking their temperature.
