Patient's question:
The baby is 8 months old. Lately, he has been having diarrhea, and the stool is yellow and watery. I'm very worried about the baby losing fluids. I searched online and found it's rotavirus enteritis, which can be treated with medication. I'd like to ask what medication is used for rotavirus enteritis in children?Doctor's answer:
Based on the current situation, it appears that the baby has contracted rotavirus, leading to gastroenteritis. This has caused symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, and in severe cases, watery stools and dehydration. Therefore, it is believed that early and active treatment is necessary, which should include antiviral and anti-diarrheal medications. This will help control the disease and prevent further dehydration in the baby.
