Treatment and prognosis
edytujTreatment of acute rotavirus infection is nonspecific and involves management of symptoms and, most importantly, maintenance of hydration.[1] If untreated, children can die from the resulting severe dehydration.[2] Depending on the severity of diarrhoea, treatment consists of oral rehydration, during which the child is given extra water to drink that contains small amounts of salt and sugar.[3] In 2004, the WHO and UNICEF recommended the use of low-osmolarity oral rehydration solution and zinc supplementation as a two-pronged treatment of acute diarrhoea.[4] Some infections are serious enough to warrant hospitalisation where fluids are given by intravenous drip or nasogastric tube, and the child's electrolytes and blood sugar are monitored.[5] Rotavirus infections rarely cause other complications and for a well managed child the prognosis is excellent.[6]
