What should I do if my 8-month-old baby gets gastroenteritis?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

If the diagnosis is gastroenteritis, you can choose rectal administration first, and then consider oral medication. This is because severe gastroenteritis may cause poor intestinal absorption, which could render the medication ineffective. Additionally, drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration, as this may require intravenous fluids.
