Patient's question:
Vomiting and Diarrhea: Past Treatment and Effects: After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it was caused by rotavirus infection. Taking medicine for several days didn't help, but she started vomiting very severely. Now she doesn't vomit anymore but has severe diarrhea. Examination Results: The doctor confirmed it was caused by rotavirus infection. Blood tests also confirmed rotavirus infection. What kind of assistance is needed: My daughter is 1 year and 4 months old. She has started experiencing diarrhea with dry vomiting and high fever. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it was caused by rotavirus infection. Taking medicine for several days didn't help, but she started vomiting very severely—vomiting everything she ate. Now she doesn't vomit anymore but has severe diarrhea, with 4 episodes in just two hours. I hope for some expert assistance.Doctor's answer:
After being infected with rotavirus, clinical diagnosis primarily features fever, dry vomiting, and nausea with vomiting. Nausea and vomiting can occur more than ten times daily, with stool characteristics being watery or yellow-green loose stools. In severe cases, dehydration and acidosis may reappear. You can take Montmorillonite powder, which is quite effective. Pay attention to hydration, dietary hygiene, avoid drinking untreated water, and do not consume unclean or unlicensed food. Once symptoms of fever, nausea, and vomiting reappear in children, it is important to promptly take them to the hospital for further examination.
