How to deal with acute gastroenteritis in a 5-month-old baby

Patient's question:

Around 10:00 AM on October 30, 2012. The symptoms first started with abdominal pain. By noon, I drank water and then began vomiting, and it wasn't until the evening that I had diarrhea.

Doctor's answer:

Diarrhea. In children, diarrhea is usually considered to be caused by digestive disorders, viral infections, lactose intolerance, or bacterial infections. For diarrhea symptoms, it is recommended to take oral probiotics like Bifidumbacterium infantis and Smecta. It is important to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. Oral rehydration salts can be used for treatment. If the oral treatment is ineffective, it is advisable to seek medical treatment at the hospital for intravenous therapy.
