Patient's question:
The child has recently been feeling uncomfortable in the stomach, sometimes experiencing severe stomach pain, and often having a loss of appetite and nausea. After a check-up, it was diagnosed as gastroenteritis. What should be done about children's gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to base the treatment on anti-infection, using antibiotics for intestinal infections to control E. coli. Currently, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, Huanglian, neomycin, furazolidone, and pipemidic acid are being used. Additionally, maintain fluid and electrolyte balance. Increase feeding volume, shorten feeding intervals, and pause or adjust the digestion of food. For artificially fed animals, soluble milk, rice soup, and other digestible foods can be temporarily provided, gradually increasing the amount of milk.
