What is the Treatment for Shigella in Children?

Treatment depends on the severity of the infection. Mild cases often resolve on their own within a week. However, severe cases may require antibiotic therapy to shorten the duration of symptoms and reduce the risk of complications. Commonly used antibiotics include azithromycin, ceftriaxone, and ciprofloxacin. Oral rehydration solutions (ORS) are essential to manage dehydration.
