Patient's question:
Nausea, vomiting, and dry heaves without defecation; sore and swollen throat. Medical history and effectiveness on January 22, 2010: Went to the hospital and received intravenous drips for 4 days without improvement. The doctor said it was due to poor diet and fever-induced bacteria. What kind of nausea and vomiting do you have in autumn...Doctor's answer:
The causes of nausea and vomiting are varied, ranging from medical perspectives, they can be viral or bacterial. Nausea and vomiting caused by bacteria are more common in summer, while viral diarrhea is more prevalent in autumn and winter. For example, autumnal nausea and vomiting is a type of intestinal inflammation caused by rotavirus, which is more common during autumn and winter (October to February of the following year). Pediatric autumnal nausea and vomiting is named after its high incidence rate during autumn and winter, primarily affecting infants aged 6 to 24 months. It is mainly spread through the fecal-oral route. If a child's feeding utensils or food are unclean, or if the child has habits such as eating without washing their hands or biting their fingers, it is easy for them to contract rotavirus, leading to nausea and vomiting.Autumnal nausea and vomiting is a self-limiting illness with a natural course of 3 to 8 days, averaging around 5 days. Since it is caused by a virus, antibiotics are generally not required for treatment. Instead, appropriate fluid therapy, probiotics, and mucosal protectants should be used. For children with mild symptoms or no dehydration or mild dehydration, parents can administer Smecta (attapulgite) and oral rehydration salts for treatment. These medications are easily available at pharmacies. However, for children with severe dehydration symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for intravenous fluid therapy.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has shown good clinical efficacy in treating autumnal nausea and vomiting. Many clinical trials report that TCM is more effective than Smecta in stabilizing symptoms and prolonging the course of the illness. The above advice is for the question "All-year nausea and vomiting with dry heaves and no bowel movement, sore throat, swelling, and pain, visited the hospital for 4 days." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
