Question
A child with a ten-day course of diarrhea and vomiting has been prescribed montmorillonite powder and probiotics by the doctor, but the effects are not satisfactory. Now the symptoms are more severe, what treatment is needed?
Answer
Considering the child may have acute gastroenteritis, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for examination, conduct routine and abnormal blood tests to determine the infection status, actively carry out antibiotic treatment, and simultaneously replenish fluids to prevent water and electrolyte imbalance. Continue to administer probiotics and montmorillonite powder, consider golden bifidus treatment and spleen and stomach nourishing granules. If there is inflammation, cephalosporin antiseptic treatment can be used.
