There are several methods for treating gastrointestinal flu in children: 1. General treatment: Ensure adequate rest and sleep, avoid excessive fatigue, appropriately replenish fluids, eat small frequent meals, and maintain good dietary hygiene. 2. Medication treatment: Under a doctor's guidance, treatment can include taking medications such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, and intravenous fluid therapy may also be used to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications. However, please note that Huoxiang Zhengqi Water is recommended for use in children aged 14 years and older.
