Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
For treating gastroenteric colds, antiviral drugs such as guanidine, viramidine, and Radix Isatidis granules can be used. Note that antibiotics should not be used blindly, as they are not only ineffective but can also disrupt the normal intestinal flora, worsen the condition, and prolong the duration of the illness. Additionally, combining Smecta with oral rehydration solution (ORS) is effective, as it can quickly relieve symptoms and shorten the course of the illness.
