Patient's question:
I don't know why, I'm not feeling well, I don't want to eat anything, I noticed bloating, is it possible that the newborn has an enlarged liver and spleen, is it contagious?Doctor's answer:
If your child had a cold recently, it might 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, as rotavirus infection has a high mortality rate. I would like to provide you with a treatment plan: First, antiviral treatment for the child can be administered orally or via injection with ribavirin (can be used for three days).
