If a child with enteritis needs antibiotics, he or she should take cephalosporins, such as cefixime and cefaclor, but not quinolones, because they may cause deafness, impaired bone development or kidney damage. Pediatric enteritis is characterized by frequent stools, diarrhea, possibly bloody stools with a fishy odor, and possibly abdominal pain. In the case of non-bacterial enteritis, you can take probiotics to regulate the intestinal flora without antibiotics.
