Question
My 27-month-old baby is vomiting and has diarrhea with a fever. After a careful medical examination at the hospital, it was found to be rotavirus enteritis. It’s the fifth day now, and the fever has gone away, but the baby still has loose stools once a day, but they are very watery, resembling egg flower soup. The baby eats very little, just drinking some milk and having a few bites of congee, constantly wanting to take a nap and not feeling well. Should I still take the baby to the hospital for a check-up? Can you help take a look?
Answer
Based on your description, the child is currently in the recovery phase, just showing decreased appetite which will gradually improve. It is recommended to eat easily digestible foods, avoid extremely cold foods, drink plenty of water, and give the child probiotics for a few days to gradually improve.
