Patient's question:
My daughter, who is almost two years old, has been vomiting occasionally these past few days. What are some good solutions? She vomited once on the evening of November 14th and again on the evening of November 16th. At other times, she is very well-behaved and loves to play, just like usual. The help I am seeking: Which category of medicine would be effective?Doctor's answer:
Based on the child's symptoms, it is preliminarily considered to be acute gastritis. Acute gastritis often recurs with symptoms of dry vomiting and nausea. It is commonly accompanied by abdominal pain. Some children may first experience dry vomiting before developing abdominal pain and diarrhea. It should be considered whether it is pediatric gastroenteritis. It is recommended to rest more, avoid spicy foods, and avoid cold foods. If the child experiences dry vomiting again, do not immediately give them water or food, as this may force the child to vomit more frequently, leading to an increased risk of dehydration. Appropriately digest sugar and salt water.
