Question
At the age of 54, I noticed that the child I’m looking after is feeling unwell. What should I do if a baby has a cold and diarrhea?
Answer
A baby with a cold and diarrhea may likely have rotavirus enteritis. This condition is characterized by watery stools and is prone to causing dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. It’s important for the baby to maintain a regular diet, sleep schedule, and overall physical and mental health, keeping a positive mood. During treatment, the baby should pay attention to diet and care, ensure adequate rest, moderate activity, and avoid unnecessary harm.
