What should I do if my child has acute gastroenteritis?

Patient's question:

Zero 8 days, last night the baby suddenly had a bowel movement, the baby kept crying, but the hospital was already empty at that late hour. Today, I went for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it was acute gastroenteritis. What should I do now?

Doctor's answer:

If he hasn't taken some protease granules (1 pack), vitamin B6 granules (1 pack), and clarithromycin (1/4), he's currently experiencing a bit of indigestion. Let's wait and see after he takes them for a day. It's normal for him to have some diarrhea after taking them. If there are no other symptoms, there's no need to go to the hospital.
Additionally, during the treatment of gastroenteritis, besides timely medical care, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference in the complete recovery from gastroenteritis.
