What is autumnal diarrhea?

Patient's question:

What is autumnal diarrhea? As a parent, I am very worried and afraid that my child's condition will worsen. Regarding the question I just mentioned, I hope the doctor can answer.

Doctor's answer:

Autumnal gastroenteritis is actually a rotavirus enteritis. It is a viral infection and does not require antibiotics; only hydration needs to be supplemented for the child. During the diarrhea, you can give the baby foods like cooked apple puree and carrot puree, which are beneficial for stopping diarrhea. The baby should drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. After the baby's diarrhea symptoms improve, you can give probiotics that help regulate intestinal digestive function and boost immunity.
