Gastroenteritis with mild dehydration secondary to malaria.
This young 3 year old male child was brought in yesterday with excessive crying, loose stool, vomiting and fever. We quickly commence treatment and today he is up and about! Amazing how little children recover with the right diagnosis and treatment. I love treating children even though they can be very difficult to handle. Just look at those eyes that were formerly sunken looking full, purposeful and happy again. The emphasis of having trained and experienced doctors in the rural areas must continually be encouraged and this discussion must be sustained on the front burner until it becomes a norm.
