Patient's question:
My child is 11 months old. Since yesterday, they have been vomiting and having diarrhea. They received injections and took medicine at the doctor's office, but it hasn't been effective. The diarrhea consists of watery and curd-like liquid. To prevent dehydration from the diarrhea, I would like to ask you what we should do and what medication we should use.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the possibility of viral gastroenteritis is relatively high. If possible, test for rotavirus and adenovirus in the stool. Continue with fluid therapy. If it's a viral infection, it may cause myocardial damage, so you can add intravenous nutrition for the heart. For your current condition, it is recommended to have a stool routine test and treat with medication in conjunction. Also, apply more heat compresses.
