There is no specific antiviral medication to treat rotavirus. The primary treatment focuses on managing symptoms and preventing dehydration. This includes: - Oral rehydration solutions (ORS) to replace lost fluids and electrolytes - Intravenous fluids in cases of severe dehydration - Continued feeding or breastfeeding to maintain nutrition
Antibiotics are not effective against rotavirus as it is a viral infection. In some cases, probiotics may be recommended to help restore the natural balance of bacteria in the gut.
