Question
Is a baby’s diarrhea, fever, and vomiting symptoms indicative of stomach flu, and how should it be treated?
Answer
When a child exhibits symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and vomiting, they may be due to a gastrointestinal infection. Treatment should first address the cause. For vomiting caused by intestinal infections, anti-infection treatment is typically required. Common antibiotics include norfloxacin (Fluorofloxacin) and ciprofloxacin (Ciprofloxacin), which are effective against certain pathogens. During the treatment process, addictive medications should be avoided, and if necessary, they can only be used for a short period. It is also important to monitor the baby’s symptoms for changes and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
