Abdominal pain for 4 days, diarrhea, vomiting for 1 day. Test results: 40 white blood cells in stool. Past treatment and effectiveness: Six days ago, the child was treated for a cold with Aztreonam, 5 injections administered, 3 given rectally. The abdominal pain stopped after stopping the medication, and diarrhea started 5 days after stopping the medication. What help is needed: Please ask if my child has gastroenteritis and how to treat it.

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to explain it for you. According to the cause, childhood diarrhea is divided into two types: infectious and non-infectious. It is a clinical syndrome caused by various pathogens and multiple factors. The clothing of infants and young children should be increased or decreased according to the rise or fall in temperature to avoid overheating and prevent the abdomen from getting cold at night. In summer, you should drink more water to avoid overeating or eating too much fat. Make sure to take a hot bath.
