Question
What are the symptoms of acute gastritis in newborns?
Answer
Symptoms of acute gastritis include vomiting, abdominal pain, frequent watery diarrhea, and crying with reduced urine output. These are symptoms of acute gastroenteritis. If there is no fever or mental dullness, it is mainly due to dehydration. Mild dehydration can be treated with oral rehydration, while moderate to severe dehydration usually requires intravenous fluid therapy. If there is persistent vomiting and diarrhea with mental dullness, it is advisable to go to the hospital for intravenous fluid administration. Dehydration in infants can easily lead to symptoms like high fever and convulsions.
