Answer
Infant diarrhea is an acute intestinal infectious disease caused by various viruses, with symptoms including an acute onset, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and the passage of loose or watery stools, which may be accompanied by fever and general malaise. The course of the disease is short, with no specific treatment available, so mainly symptomatic treatment is adopted. This includes discontinuing milk and disaccharide foods, using antiemetics and sedatives, and taking oral or intravenous fluids to correct electrolyte imbalances. Antiviral treatment can be administered with ribavirin granules.
