Question
How is rotavirus enteritis treated in neonatal pediatrics?
Answer
I started experiencing vomiting symptoms two days ago, starting with dry heaves and then developing a high fever. Subsequently, I vomited whatever I ate. Last night, I vomited twice, with the vomit being thick and having a foul fishy smell, with a high fever reaching 39 degrees. Today, I had watery diarrhea multiple times, with a persistent fever of about 38 degrees. I sought medical attention yesterday and was given three bottles of intravenous injections of Yan Yan Ping, Vitamin B6, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, and antipyretic medication. Today, I went to the women and children’s hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with rotavirus enteritis. The doctor prescribed ribavirin granules, montmorillonite powder, cross-linked lactobacillus capsules, and electrolyte solution. Is it enough to use only these medications? Do I need to use anti-inflammatory medication? How should I further handle the situation? What should I pay attention to in terms of diet?
