Question
The child is two and a half months old and has been suffering from diarrhea for two weeks. Today, a hospital examination of the stool showed RV positive. The conclusion was enteritis, and it is recommended to be hospitalized. Considering that the child had to be hospitalized before, with blood tests and finger pricks, I want to ask whether hospitalization is necessary in this situation?
Answer
Based on your description, the child is now two and a half months old and has been experiencing diarrhea for two weeks. Today, a routine stool examination at the hospital revealed enteritis. For a child of just over two months, if the enteritis is severe, we recommend hospitalization for treatment. Hospitalization can help control the inflammation early on, avoiding any further impact on the intestinal digestive function and the child’s growth and development. Therefore, it is suggested that you quickly consider hospitalization and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment.
