Question
My daughter, who is 9 months old, has developed enteritis, with frequent loose stools and a high white blood cell count. After taking medication, she lost her appetite and started developing a fever. She then began receiving intravenous injections (ceftriaxone), and the medication continued. However, after two days of treatment, she started vomiting again and has difficulty sleeping at night. What should I do now? Could you please advise? Thank you! Urgent!
Answer
Pediatric enteritis is also known as gastroenteritis. Vomiting during the treatment process is a common occurrence and there is no need to worry. Just actively cooperate with the treatment. Enteritis is categorized into acute and chronic based on the duration of the illness. When both acute and chronic symptoms are present, it is referred to as acute and chronic enteritis. Based on your description of the condition, an initial diagnosis suggests chronic enteritis. The treatment methods include adequate rest, consuming easily digestible foods, and avoiding fried (spicy) foods.
