What should I do if the baby is vomiting and has diarrhea?

Patient's question:

Last night while eating dinner, I vomited. Later, I had watery diarrhea with a rotten egg smell, and my urine output was reduced. I felt weak and lack energy. I went to the hospital and received an IV drip. It has been two days since yesterday and today. Now I am not willing to eat anything, even porridge or anti-diarrhea milk. I often have diarrhea. What should I do now?

Doctor's answer:

Your baby's condition is considered to be caused by indigestion, often due to exposure to cold, irregular eating habits, or overeating, which leads to excessive burden on the intestines. The patient may experience varying degrees of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, hyperactive bowel sounds, and foul-smelling stools. It is recommended to actively treat and prevent the condition.
It is advised to pay attention to your baby's warmth to prevent cold exposure. Maintain a light and well-balanced diet, consume easily digestible foods, eat on a regular schedule, and eat small meals frequently. Oral pediatric digestive tablets and live Bacillus subtilis capsules can be taken for treatment. Encourage your baby to exercise more and get more sunlight. I hope my explanation helps you.
