The baby has been vomiting and having diarrhea today. He/she took the medicine from the pharmacy.

Patient's question:

The baby has been vomiting and having diarrhea today. The medicine prescribed by the doctor hasn't helped, and there hasn't been any change. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No allergies. What kind of assistance is needed: What is wrong with the baby?

Doctor's answer:

The baby has again shown symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. The first thing to consider is the manifestation of acute gastroenteritis, but it is also related to indigestion. Therefore, the condition cannot be confirmed at this time. Since the child was just given medication today, a complete recovery from this illness also requires a process. So, don't be too anxious. It is recommended that you wait for 1-2 days before observing how the condition improves.
Advice: If the child's symptoms still haven't improved by tomorrow, you can have a stool test done to check whether the condition is caused by inflammation or indigestion. Then, you can use proper medication accordingly.
