Patient's question:
My son started vomiting this morning. He vomits everything he eats, even plain water. What should I do? The child is so hungry and craves food terribly. When he ate a piece of steamed bun, he vomited it all out. Does he need medication? He had a bowel movement around 7:30 PM.Past treatment history and effectiveness: The doctor said it was indigestion and suggested that he had eaten something cold, but he didn’t prescribe any medication. The doctor advised him not to eat for 6 hours.
Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify this. Based on the description, it's important to be aware of the possibilities caused by digestive issues such as indigestion, as well as conditions like gastritis. Pay special attention to the possibility of viral diarrhea and other abnormal manifestations, such as fever. In this situation, the first step is to stabilize emotions, get adequate rest, and ensure the child drinks plenty of water. Monitor the child's temperature changes promptly. Oral probiotics, montmorillonite powder, and other medications can be used for treatment. If necessary, seek medical advice from a pediatric department in a formal hospital.
