Childhood intestinal inflammation has been receiving intravenous fluids for 5 days without improvement. What should the doctor do?

Patient's question:

Started not digesting, later had diarrhea for 5 days and hasn't improved

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if a child has diarrhea, the first consideration should be indigestion, intestinal inflammation, or exposure to cold. It's important to first diagnose the cause. If the child only has simple diarrhea and is in good spirits, you can give them some Lactobacillus casei or a probiotic preparation, or take Intestinal Growth, and may also consider giving them a course of cephalosporin antibiotics. If the diarrhea becomes severe and medication is ineffective, it's necessary to start intravenous treatment promptly. Additionally, make sure the child drinks plenty of warm water and gently massage their abdomen.
