What medication should be taken for infant gastroenteritis

Patient's question:

Pediatric gastroenteritis is a common digestive disorder. Infants and young children have relatively poor gastrointestinal function and low resistance to external infections, making them prone to illness with slight discomfort. After developing pediatric gastroenteritis, symptoms such as fever, dry heaving, nausea, and vomiting may reappear. These are generally caused by improper diet, overeating, or consuming extremely cold or unclean food. So, what kind of medicine is effective for pediatric gastroenteritis?

Doctor's answer:

The baby can infer or be diagnosed by the hospital as having viral gastroenteritis or bacterial gastroenteritis based on the test results. If it is viral gastroenteritis, the baby can take: Ribavirin granules + Montmorillonite powder, Peffikon. For bacterial gastroenteritis, the baby can take: Gentamicin granules, Montmorillonite powder, Peffikon. It is necessary to give the baby more water and cook some lean rice porridge for the baby to eat. Fruits should be temporarily avoided.
Number: Since Gentamicin granules have significant side effects, Cefixime granules can also be used as an alternative.
