Patient's question:
A 3-year-old child, with a bit of a runny nose, suddenly coughed twice at night and then vomited. They vomited three times, expelling all the food they had eaten, at 9 p.m., 2 a.m., and 6 a.m. Based on the state of the vomit, it appears that nothing was absorbed. There are no other discomforts, and no fever. Two weeks ago, they had acute purulent tonsillitis, received injections, and took medication, recovering last week. What could be happening? Did they overeat? Should the vomit be tested in a paper bag?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is preliminarily believed that the current symptoms are mostly caused by a cold. It is recommended to follow a light and easily digestible diet, eat small meals frequently, drink plenty of water, and take precautions to prevent abdominal cold exposure to avoid gastrointestinal distress. Oral cold medicine should be taken. If there is fatigue, a follow-up visit is necessary. This is the advice for the question "What should I do if a 3-year-old child has a little runny nose?" I hope it helps you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
