Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi dearv
Welcome to the HCM
Rotavirus infection uptill now might have subsided.
Probably some other infection has taken place(Possibly bacterial infection).
Needs to be stool culture and sensitivity done. and accordingly can be given relevant antibiotic for eradication of the infection.
Hand to mouth hygiene should be taken care of strictly. Which is very very common at this age juncture and very important cause of infection.
RTI can be treated with antihistaminic and decongestant drug.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
