Child has bloody diarrhea

Patient's question:

Fever, had 4 bowel movements a day, didn't eat much dinner, weight 33 jin. 5 days ago had a low fever, started having diarrhea in the morning. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Took 1 bag of Shifusu, 2 bags of Mamai, didn't go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. What kind of assistance is needed: Do I need to be given intravenous fluids? I don't want the child to receive too many drips. Can the treatment be strict?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to take Shan Mai Jian Pi Kou Yu (oral liquid) to assist absorption, and oral Huo Xiang Chong Ji. Do not overeat to give your stomach and intestines a rest. Drink plenty of water. It is best to receive intravenous treatment because taking medication may cause nausea, especially for drugs with severe gastrointestinal reactions. Additionally, it is advisable to use antibiotics for treatment.
Survival care: Avoid consuming indigestible, greasy, or extremely cold foods. Porridge is the best option. Maintain a light diet, drink plenty of water, and ensure adequate fluid digestion.
