Patient's question:
The child had loose stools starting from 3:30 PM yesterday, then vomited after eating something at night, and again had loose stools at 3:00 AM. When fed milk, he vomited right after finishing it (it was like spraying out). This morning, when given water, he also vomited. He also has a fever of 38 degrees.Previous Treatment and Effects:
No treatment was given.
Help Needed:
I just want to ask what might have caused this, and also that in the past, after eating, he would vomit once. Additionally, how should this be treated?
Doctor's answer:
I believe your baby has developed an upper respiratory infection after catching a cold, which has weakened the body's resistance, allowing bacteria or viruses to enter. The clinical symptoms include fever, sore throat, discomfort, and pain. In addition to the cold, the gastrointestinal function may also be reduced, making it easier to experience indigestion again.I recommend giving your baby oral Cefixime granules and antiviral oral liquid, ensuring they drink plenty of water, take probiotics and Bifidumbacterium, and consume light, easily digestible foods. Avoid extremely cold, hard, or spicy foods that may irritate the body. Eat small, frequent meals to prevent overeating. Pay attention to keeping warm to avoid catching another cold, which will help alleviate the symptoms.
I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
