Question
Parents inquire about the treatment method for their child’s diarrhea, describing the process from vomiting to diarrhea, and mention that the doctor diagnosed it as A-type rotavirus infection, along with a sore throat issue. The child has previously received treatment with monkey ring and attapulgite powder, but now is suffering from a cold, and the parents are unsure of the next steps to take.
Answer
The physician advises symptomatic care for the acute upper respiratory infection complicated by viral enteritis in children, including appropriate diet, supplementation of vitamin C and B-complex vitamins, using attapulgite powder to alleviate nausea and vomiting, and possibly intravenous treatment in severe cases. Early consideration may include antiviral medications and anti-inflammatory drugs. It is recommended to decide whether to seek medical attention and select appropriate medication based on the child’s condition while maintaining home care.
