Doctor's answer:
Nausea and vomiting are most commonly caused by infections. A stool test should be conducted to check for possible gastroenteritis or even dysentery. If bacterial gastroenteritis is present, cefixime should be used for treatment. In cases of dysentery, it is necessary to go to an infectious disease hospital. Probiotics can help regulate the intestinal flora for treatment. For severe nausea and vomiting, Smecta can be taken to stop diarrhea. It is also important to pay attention to symptoms of dehydration, such as decreased urine output, lethargy, and poor skin elasticity. Immediate hospitalization for intravenous fluid therapy is required if these symptoms occur. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods, avoiding greasy and irritating foods. Abdominal pain should be carefully examined with abdominal ultrasound.
