Question
My child has been suffering from nausea and vomiting recently without any improvement. There is no fever, so I haven’t taken her to the hospital for a thorough check-up. However, the nausea and vomiting persist, and it’s quite distressing. I would like to know, what are the treatment methods for pediatric diarrhea?
Answer
The treatment methods for pediatric diarrhea are divided into non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments. Non-pharmacological treatments, such as those caused by abdominal cold or improper feeding, generally do not require medication. Pharmacological treatments depend on the specific condition, such as E. coli or Gram-positive bacteria, and may involve different antibiotics; viral infections, such as rotavirus or norovirus, generally do not require antiviral treatment; fungal infections may require specific treatments depending on the type of fungus.
