Patient's question:
Hello, my baby is two years and three months old. A couple of days ago, he initially had stomach pain and then also had diarrhea and dry vomiting. We went to the hospital, but in the last two days, he still has stomach pain and loves to eat his hands. Could it be that he has worms?Doctor's answer:
Nausea, vomiting, and retching are most commonly caused by infections. A urine test is needed to check for bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections, and a stool test should be conducted to see if there is gastroenteritis. Treatment should be administered based on the results of the urine and stool tests.If nausea is accompanied by fatigue, it is important to be alert for conditions such as myocarditis or appendicitis. Probiotics can help regulate the intestinal flora, and montmorillonite powder can be used to stop diarrhea. If the nausea is severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital for intravenous antiemetic medication. Additionally, if signs of dehydration are present, immediate hospitalization for intravenous fluid replacement is required. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods. Avoid spoiled food.
