Patient's question:
Because I have been eating disorder recently, my skin has been very bad lately, and vomiting has appeared on my body. What are the common reasons that can lead to newborn liver and spleen enlargement? Can you help me?Doctor's answer:
If your child had a cold recently, it might be possible that it's gastroenteritis. Its main cause is the stimulation of the intestinal wall by viruses, bacteria, and their metabolic products, leading to swelling of the intestinal mucosa and increased permeability, which triggers 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:1. Antiviral treatment for the child can be administered orally or via injection (e.g., ribavirin, which can be used for three days).
2. Antibacterial treatment for the child can be administered orally (e.g., gentamicin injection, which has a strong polarity and does not absorb in the gastrointestinal tract, thus acting locally) or via injection (e.g., cefuroxime).
