The one-year-old daughter is suffering from severe diarrhea, and the parent asks about the medications that can be given to alleviate the symptoms.

Answer

The pediatrician advises the parent to take the child to the hospital for a diagnosis, as the child may be experiencing diarrhea and dehydration due to rotavirus enteritis. The doctor suggests a stool test for confirmation, and may require intravenous treatment, as well as the use of probiotics and antidiarrheal medications to improve symptoms. The doctor also reminds to ensure adequate fluid intake and keep the abdomen warm.
