Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
If the symptoms of gastroenteritis in children are relatively mild, drinking more warm water can effectively accelerate metabolism and alleviate symptoms. If fever or other abnormal symptoms occur, physical cooling methods such as wiping the body with a warm towel can be used, and medications such as ibuprofen granules may also be taken as directed by a physician. Additionally, medications such as Shidi Shui (Ten-Drop-Water) can be taken as advised by a healthcare provider for symptom relief. A light diet should also be maintained during this period.
