Gastrointestinal infection in infants is a relatively common disease. This disease can cause serious damage to the gastrointestinal tract of children, so many parents pay special attention to it. Therefore, when your child has a gastrointestinal infection, you will want to fully understand the treatment. In order for you to have a comprehensive understanding, a detailed introduction is made below. You can continue to learn about the treatment methods introduced below.

1. Western medicine

If the intestinal effect is ideal, ciprofloxacin and lijunza can be used. If there is a concurrent viral infection, ribavirin and morphine hydrochloride can be used. Paracetamol (acetaminophen) can be used to reduce fever. If the condition is severe and causes gastric cramps, dexamethasone can be used for emergency treatment.

2. Traditional Chinese Medicine

The use of Huoxiang Zhengqi tablets and Huoxiang Zhengqi water has better effects. For children with gastrointestinal colds, in addition to taking medicines to treat colds, they should also take some Chinese medicines that can help digestion, relieve stagnation and relieve symptoms, such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills, Jiawei Baohe Pills, Zhupo Houzao Powder, etc. If the child has severe abdominal distension, abdominal pain and vomiting, he can first take Simotang oral liquid to stop vomiting and digestion, and then take other medicines about half an hour later. This will have a better effect.

Pay attention to rest: The treatment of gastrointestinal colds mainly focuses on rest. On the one hand, patients should rest more to reduce physical exertion and enhance the body's ability to fight the disease. On the other hand, the gastrointestinal tract should be given sufficient rest. The purpose of reducing the burden on the stomach and intestines is to restore the digestive function earlier so that the amount of food intake can be increased. On the contrary, it will only increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and eventually turn into chronic gastroenteritis.

3. Food therapy

Under normal circumstances, there is no need to worry about nutritional deficiencies when dieting for about a week. When vomiting is more obvious in the early stages, appropriate intravenous rehydration can be given, and the rest of the treatment is the same as for a cold. You can also learn from the experiences of some patients: use hunger therapy appropriately, but replenish more water. It is best to let the patient drink more salt and sugar water, at least 500 ml per day. In addition, it can also be treated and prevented through food. Ginger is warm in nature, so try to eat it raw and avoid frying it.
