Patient's question:
The baby is two years old and has severe diarrhea. The medicine hasn't helped, and intravenous fluids for four days haven't had any effect. The baby isn't eating and has no energy. What's going on? The baby also eats very little.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it is generally considered to be caused by enterovirus infection. It is recommended to treat with antiviral and supportive therapy, while controlling food intake and paying attention to fluid supplementation. Intravenous fluids may be necessary if needed to replenish fluids. For severe vomiting and diarrhea, pay attention to electrolyte imbalances. Young children with lethargy and drowsiness should seek medical attention for blood ion and biochemical tests, and electrolytes lacking should be supplemented accordingly. Do not rashly use anti-diarrheal medication.
