Question
A two-month and ten-day-old baby has recently been experiencing diarrhea, with all stools being watery. Examination has confirmed that it is caused by rotavirus enteritis. Although the baby has no fever, it is resistant to various antibiotics. Parents are inquiring about the treatment options and estimating how long it will take for the baby to recover.
Answer
Firstly, since this is a viral infection, the use of antibiotics is ineffective. If the baby’s condition is not good, it is recommended to undergo fluid replacement therapy to prevent dehydration. Parents can give the baby oral rehydration salts and can try making porridge to help the baby recover. If the baby’s condition is good, fluid replacement may not be necessary. Additionally, pediatric acupuncture therapy is a good option as it has no side effects and can enhance the baby’s constitution. In summary, based on your question, I suggest taking the above measures to help the baby recover and wish you and your baby good health!
