Question
The child has diarrhea with blood streaks, occurring four times a day, lacks appetite, weighs 33 pounds, and had a low fever five days ago. They have taken one packet of Shifuzi and two packets of MamiAi without detailed medical examination. What kind of assistance is needed? Do they need intravenous fluid treatment? We hope to avoid excessive drip injections and can the treatment be strictly administered? It is suggested to treat with the oral medication Shanmai Jianpi Oral Liquid.
Answer
Children should receive intravenous treatment because oral medications can easily cause nausea, especially for drugs with strong gastrointestinal reactions. Additionally, consider using antibiotics for treatment. In terms of care, avoid eating hard-to-digest, greasy, or cold foods; it’s best to consume porridge, eat lightly, and drink plenty of water to promote digestion and hydration.
