Patient's question:
The baby has been having diarrhea for a long time. Taking some medicine helps a bit. The diarrhea is just watery. The stool test says it's normal. It says the baby has a slight fever and indigestion. But it's always not getting better. Just watery diarrhea and has taken many medications. The previous treatment and its effects: None.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, antibiotics like cefixime may be needed. For dysentery, it's necessary to go to an infectious disease hospital. Probiotics can help regulate the gut flora and treat the condition. For severe nausea and vomiting, Smecta can be taken to stop diarrhea. It's also important to monitor symptoms like decreased urination, fatigue, and poor skin elasticity, which may indicate dehydration. Immediate hospital treatment with intravenous fluids is required if these symptoms occur. In terms of diet, it's advisable to consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods, avoiding greasy and irritating foods.
