Patient's question:
[Condition Description: My baby is 8 months old. Yesterday, we found that he had a fever of 39 degrees and went to the hospital for a check-up. His fever was brought down, but it returned two hours later. It took until the evening for his fever to completely subside. However, today he vomited every time he drank milk. Past Treatment and Effect: The hospital replied that it was a case of upper respiratory infection. Desired Help: I would like to ask what should be done in the above situation?]Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the child has a fever, vomiting, and symptoms of acute gastritis, it is important to seek timely treatment to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.Recommendations:
Hello, the child should be given oral rehydration salts and encouraged to drink more water. Additionally, oral Domperidone for suspension can help relieve vomiting symptoms, and digestive aids such as Maltose and Pepsin Powder may also be used. If the child's temperature is above 38°C, lukewarm water can be used to wipe the forehead, palms, soles of the feet, armpits, and groin to help lower the fever. Alternatively, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like naproxen can be taken. If the child appears lethargic and cannot continue eating, intravenous fluid therapy should be administered.
