Patient's question:
Infant and toddler diarrhea, went to the hospital to test the stool diagnosed with rotavirus infection, did a blood test, no problems, have bronchitis, yesterday about rotavirus infection was given an intravenous drip, today hasn't even passed yet, diarrhea eight times. What to do?Doctor's answer:
Rotavirus gastroenteritis is an acute digestive tract infection caused by rotavirus. The pathogen causing rotavirus gastroenteritis is primarily transmitted through the digestive tract and mainly spreads among infants and young children. The peak incidence occurs in the autumn, which is why infants may experience autumnal diarrhea at birth. Typically, there are upper digestive tract symptoms such as vomiting and fever, followed by diarrhea, with stool appearing egg-like or loose. It is usually 7-8 times per day, and severe cough symptoms may exceed 20 times.Advice: It is recommended to continue intravenous fluid therapy, with a general course not exceeding 7 days. The first 3 days will be the most severe, gradually improving thereafter. Only use tension to prevent the baby from dehydration.
