Can Rotavirus infection in children resolve on its own?
Disease description:
I noticed this morning that my child had a severe case of diarrhea. After visiting the hospital, the doctor diagnosed it as rotavirus gastroenteritis in children. Can pediatric rotavirus infection resolve on its own?

Whether rotavirus infection in children can resolve spontaneously mainly depends on the severity of the illness. For mild cases, such as children exhibiting only mild diarrhea without significant dehydration, the condition usually resolves on its own. In such situations, parents should focus on daily care, including ensuring adequate fluid intake, providing easily digestible food, and closely monitoring changes in symptoms. If the condition continues to worsen, such as frequent diarrhea and vomiting accompanied by high fever, medical intervention will be necessary. At this point, medications may be required to alleviate symptoms, such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus tablets for diarrhea or ibuprofen granules for fever. The ability of rotavirus infection in children to resolve spontaneously varies depending on the severity of the illness. Parents should decide whether treatment is necessary based on the child's specific condition and the doctor's recommendations.
