What help do you need: What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to take Montmorillonite powder and probiotics orally, and apply an umbilical patch to the navel for treatment. If necessary, seek hospital pediatric intravenous treatment. Extend the interval between feedings. Drink more water. This symptom is classified as viral infantile gastroenteritis. Based on the current season, it is likely caused by enterovirus infection. It is recommended to treat with antiviral and supportive therapy, while controlling food intake and paying attention to fluid supplementation. In case of severe vomiting and diarrhea, monitor for electrolyte imbalances. If the child appears lethargic and drowsy, medical attention is needed for blood ion biochemistry tests to replenish deficient electrolytes. Do not rashly use antidiarrheal medication, as it may lead to viral toxins entering the bloodstream, causing toxicemia.
