Treatment of viral enteritis in babies

The baby's intestines are relatively fragile and their immune function is relatively poor, so many babies nowadays are particularly prone to viral enteritis if mistakes are made in their care. The harm to children is quite serious. Therefore, after many babies develop viral enteritis, many parents want to learn more about the specific treatment methods. For your child to recover as soon as possible, please see the detailed introduction below.

Currently, there is no specific drug for viral infections; therefore, rotavirus enteritis mainly relies on symptomatic and supportive treatment. For children with mild to moderate dehydration, oral rehydration can be used. Choose oral rehydration salts (ORS) with uniform ingredients specified by the World Health Organization. Parents only need to dilute it to a certain volume as required and give it to their children. Dehydration can generally be corrected. Traditional Chinese medicine dialectical treatment of viral enteritis has a good effect. In the early stage, you can choose to take oral Chinese medicine that clears heat and dampness, strengthens the spleen and stops diarrhea, such as Huanggen Huanglian Decoction or 20 grams of Artemisia annua, one dose a day, decocted and taken twice, and at the same time combined with massage, plastering, foot washing, transdermal drug administration and other therapies. In addition, children can take oral microecological preparations such as Juuke and Mami Love to help restore the ecological balance of normal intestinal flora; they can also take Smecta or Biqi, which have the ability to absorb viruses, bacteria and toxins. Over the years, our hospital's pediatric department has accumulated rich clinical experience in the treatment of viral enteritis.

In terms of diet, feed the children appropriate amounts of baking soda, refined salt and glucose water. Diet should also be controlled. Those with severe vomiting should fast for 6 to 12 hours, but not with water. Then the diet should be gradually increased from less to more, and from thin to thick. Because fasting and excessive dietary control will affect children's growth and development as well as the repair of gastrointestinal mucosa. A large number of studies have shown that feeding during diarrhea still has a significant nutritional effect, because rotavirus infection manifests itself segmentally in the intestine, and the normal intestinal mucosa that is not affected still has digestion and absorption functions. At this time, the diet should be adjusted. For example, young children should stop being fed greasy, meaty foods; children who are currently adding complementary foods should stop feeding them or reduce the frequency and amount of complementary foods; small babies can continue to be breastfed, and breastfeeding should be done as much as possible, in small amounts and multiple times.
