The key to the treatment of Rotaviral diarrhoea and in fact all acute
gastroenteritis in childhood is early oral electrolyte replacement. The WHO
has guidelines on oral replacement therapy in the treatment of acute
diarrhoea.

There is no role for agents which slow bowel motility in children, they infact
can complicate the disease process. Antibiotics are only useful in the
treatment of specific bacterial infections.

Post gastroenterits diarrhoea is the result of lactase deficiency and requires
a formular that does not contain lactose. In your context that would mean
the quick return to breast feeding.

The Prevention of Diarrhoea in the Amazon or any where else is to
encourage mothers to Breast feed their Children.
