Patient's question:
Usually, vomiting has been ongoing. At first, it wasn't noticed, but now the symptoms are getting worse. I'm worried it might be hepatosplenomegaly in newborns. What medicine should be taken?Doctor's answer:
If your child had a cold recently, it is likely to be gastroenteritis. It is primarily caused by viruses, bacteria, and their metabolites stimulating the intestinal wall, leading to inflammation and increased permeability of the intestinal mucosa, which results in symptoms. I don't know how old your child is, but I suggest taking a stool sample to the hospital for testing to check for rotavirus infection. Rotavirus infection has a high mortality rate, so I would like to provide you with a treatment plan.
