Hello,.
As the hospitalised course is over,
intravenous therapy is completed. Residual
diarrhea seems to be part of convalescence phase of the viral infection. Guidelines for better recovery:
- Anti-emetic medication as Ondancetron syrup with sips of water on empty stomach
- More amount of liquids including boiled water, oral rehydration salt at intervals
-
Soft diet which is easily digestible with avoidance of dairy fat, junk food if involved
- Thorough chewing of food
- Oral and hand hygiene
- Baby must avoid keeping any toys like stuffs in her mouth
- Continue GI specific antibiotics as prescribed like
Metronidazole or others
- Supportive role of lacto bacillus sachets and zinc syrup must be discussed with her treating pediatrician
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
