Patient's question:
A one-year-old baby has diarrhea, now it's. Starting from the 22nd, they had a fever, diarrhea, and vomiting. Yesterday, they started to feel better, no fever, but today it seems to have worsened. It's all yellow watery diarrhea.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello! Based on your description, your child's condition should be considered as potential gastroenteritis, and the likelihood of rotavirus infection causing autumn/winter diarrhea in this season is high.Recommendations:
1. Ribavirin granules can be used for antiviral treatment.
2. Smecta can be used to stop diarrhea and protect the intestinal mucosa. The dosage of this medication needs to be increased for effectiveness. There is no need to worry about overdose because it is not absorbed in the intestines.
3. If the stool contains mucus or blood streaks, bacterial infection may be present. Cephalosporin, such as cefixime, can be used for antibiotic treatment.
4. If the child is still drinking formula milk, it is recommended to switch to a special diarrhea formula milk for feeding.
5. Light foods like porridge can be temporarily consumed, and it is best to avoid adding oil to the food for now.
