Patient's question:
Since yesterday morning, my daughter (one year and three months old) has been experiencing continuous vomiting. No matter what she eats, she vomits shortly after and continues to vomit until her stomach is empty. Starting in the afternoon, she also developed diarrhea. Could you please tell me what might be causing this? She hasn't been eating anything unusual, and her eating habits have always been poor. How could she suddenly start vomiting continuously like this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the first thing to consider regarding the child's condition is acute gastroenteritis. It often occurs due to improper diet, overeating; or consuming raw, cold, spoiled, or unclean food. The child should rest in bed. In the first 24 hours, a liquid diet should be provided, and plenty of boiled water should be drunk. In severe cases, fasting may be necessary temporarily. After symptoms subside, porridge can be introduced.When vomiting occurs, Metoclopramide (Domperidone) can be administered, 10 mg each time, 2-3 times a day by intramuscular injection. For abdominal pain, 654-2 can be taken orally, 10 mg each time, 3 times a day, and Huoxiang Zhengqi pills can also be used.
