Question

A child vomited on the evening of the 9th, received medication in the hospital on the 10th, stopped vomiting but started diarrhea on the 11th, and was diagnosed with A-type rotavirus and tonsillitis by the doctor on the 12th. On the 14th, the child stopped having diarrhea but caught a cold. What should be done now? Previous treatment and its effects include taking monkey ear ring and montmorillonite powder. Assistance is needed.

Answer

Acute upper respiratory infection in children accompanied by viral enteritis usually only requires symptomatic treatment and supportive care to recover. Appropriate diet, enhanced care, avoidance of adverse stimuli, and supplementation with vitamin C and B vitamins are recommended. If nausea and vomiting occur, medications such as montmorillonite powder and Dulabao can be used, and severe cases may require intravenous treatment. Early use of antiviral drugs like ribavirin and anti-inflammatory drugs such as hydrocortisone can be considered. The above is for reference only.
