Patient's question:
The child had diarrhea four times the day before yesterday, and then had a high fever the night before yesterday, which was reduced with fever-reducing medicine. A thorough examination revealed a viral infection, but the child only had one episode of diarrhea yesterday and was sent home to be monitored closely. If the fever returned, hospitalization was recommended. However, the child never had a fever again. At 6 PM today, they were fed with milk powder, but vomited everything up immediately after. They vomited again twice that night, with no other symptoms. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you. For a baby in this situation, it is likely caused by a gastrointestinal flu. Since the baby is no longer feverish, you can apply cold compresses to the abdomen or use a navel patch externally. This can help alleviate the baby's dry cough. Avoid giving the baby cold or raw food, and opt for small, frequent meals. If the baby seems lethargic, it's important to take them to the hospital for a thorough examination. This is the advice for the question "My child had four episodes of diarrhea the day before yesterday." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
