Patient's question:
The baby, who is ten and a half months old, has been having diarrhea, dry coughing, and a fever for the past three days. The first two days, she had a high fever, but today it's gone. When taken to the hospital, the doctor said there were blisters in her throat and recommended taking Mamikai or Simida, along with antibiotics like cephalexin. However, why isn't it working? Hello, doctor...Doctor's answer:
Severe nausea and vomiting can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, and it's not just scaremongering to say it can harm the soul, especially for the elderly and children. Common causes include indigestion, food poisoning, emotional stress, legume foods, pancreatic diseases, cancer, laxatives, antacids, caffeine, parasites, colitis, viruses, bacteria, or other microorganisms, drinking unclean water, eating spoiled food, food or chemical allergies, etc. Nausea and vomiting patients must drink plenty of fluids, such as physiological saline, okra tea, carrot juice, and green drinks (containing chlorophyll). If the condition does not improve or if there is blood in the stool, it is necessary to see a doctor. An allergy test can be conducted to understand how you react to certain foods.1. Rice Water Porridge: Grind rice or milk powder into a fine powder, toast it until golden brown, then add water and enough sugar, and cook it into a thin porridge. Rice water is easier to absorb, and its carbonized structure not only provides good adhesion and anti-diarrheal effects but is also a must-have food for infant diarrhea.
2. Carrot Soup: Carrots are alkaline foods, and the pectin they contain can help form stools, adhere to harmful bacteria and toxins in the intestines, and serve as a good anti-diarrheal and antibacterial food. The preparation method is as follows: Wash the carrots, cut off the stems, and chop them into small pieces. Boil them with water until soft, then strain out the pulp with a cloth and add water to make soup (using a ratio of 500 grams of carrots to 1,000 milliliters of water). Finally, add sugar and bring it to a boil. Drink 2–3 times a day, 100–150 milliliters each time, and stop using it once nausea and vomiting subside.
3. Apple Puree: Apples are also alkaline foods, and the pectin and tannins they contain have adhesive, soothing, and anti-diarrheal effects. Take a fresh, soft apple, cut it in half, and scoop it into a puree with a spoon.
