Treatment strategies for pediatric CDIs often involve discontinuing the offending antibiotic, if possible, and initiating specific therapies. Common treatments include:
Metronidazole or vancomycin for mild to moderate cases Fidaxomicin for recurrent or severe cases Probiotics to restore healthy gut flora, although evidence supporting their use is still evolving
In severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary, particularly if complications such as toxic megacolon occur.
