For acute gastroenteritis, if there is a bacterial infection, antibiotics can be used. Empirical use primarily involves quinolones or cephalosporins. If stool bacterial culture is possible, antibiotics sensitive to the results of the test should be chosen.
However, it is important to note that if acute gastroenteritis is caused by a viral infection, the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory drugs is very limited. Therefore, it is advisable to diagnose which bacteria are more sensitive based on the stool sample, and then select the appropriate antibiotic. This approach is more targeted, and also less harmful to the body. The specific medication should still be primarily based on the diagnosis of the clinical doctor.
