Question
Because I’ve been eating irregularly lately, my skin has been bad, and I’ve been experiencing vomiting. What are the general causes of neonatal hepatosplenomegaly?
Answer
Based on the information you provided, if your child has had a cold recently, it is likely to be enteritis. Enteritis is mainly caused by viruses, bacteria, and their metabolic products, which stimulate the intestinal wall, leading to edema of the intestinal mucosa and increased permeability, thus causing symptoms. Although I don’t know how old your child is, I suggest you take your child’s stool to the hospital for a check-up to see if there is a rotavirus infection. Because the mortality rate of rotavirus infection is very high, I can provide you with a treatment plan: first, administer antiviral treatment to the child, either orally or by injection with ribavirin (can be used for three days); second, administer antibacterial treatment to the child, either orally (such as Gentamicin Injection, which has a high polarity and can exert regional action in the gastrointestinal tract) or by injection (such as cefuroxime).
