What are the causes of gastroenteritis in children?
Disease description:
My younger brother has been experiencing vomiting for the past two days and has been diagnosed with gastroenteric-type common cold in children. I would like to ask what are the possible causes of this condition?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Pediatric gastrointestinal cold may be caused by not paying attention to body warmth in daily life, or it may result from viral infections due to low immunity. When gastrointestinal-type cold occurs, medications such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water can be taken under a doctor's guidance for treatment, although this medication is only suitable for children aged 14 years and older. If vomiting occurs, timely intravenous glucose hydration therapy at a hospital is also recommended. At the same time, it is important to appropriately adjust dietary habits and maintain a light diet.
