How to deal with a one-year-old child with diarrhea, vomiting, and having bowel movements?

Patient's question:

Onset of symptoms: April 3rd evening, vomiting and diarrhea with white watery fluid. Last night had a high fever of 38.5 degrees. Did not go to the hospital, gave diarrhea medicine at home, but it was not very effective.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, it is likely that the condition is caused by enteritis. You can have your baby tested for a stool routine examination. Anti-inflammatory treatment can be administered, such as oral cefixime granules for suspension and Smecta. Encourage your baby to drink more water and recover gradually. Additionally, maintain hygiene in the anal area by rinsing with warm water to prevent the occurrence of eczema. There are many triggers for pediatric digestive diseases. If your child is diagnosed with a pediatric digestive disorder, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should follow a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
