Question
A parent asks the doctor about the appropriateness of the medication gentamicin sulfate and Simethicone prescribed for their three-year-old child, expressing concerns about the potential harm of gentamicin sulfate, particularly the side effect of causing deafness.
Answer
The doctor recommends using other medications, such as pediatric stone cumin powder and bifidobacterium quadrivalent live bacterial tablets, to stop diarrhea and regulate intestinal flora. If diarrhea is severe, it is suggested to undergo regular stool examination to exclude rotavirus infection. In the case of rotavirus infection, antibiotics should not be used. It is advised for the child to avoid cold and raw foods, and the diet should be warm and easy to digest. The doctor wishes the child a healthy and happy growth.
