Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Nausea And Diarrhea While Having Rotavirus Infection?
My 9 year old is suffering from rotavirus, he saw a dr on friday, but is still having symptoms. Only meds is anti nausea. He has missed school, every time he eats he has diarrhea, today at school he messed himself. What else can I do.? Does he need to be seen again.
Rotaviral infection is a self-limiting infection and requires symptomatic treatment.
I suggest you take off from school till symptoms subside. If the symptoms persist even after a couple of days, then you may need to consult a pediatric gastroenterologist to look for other causes of diarrhea like celiac disease.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
