Patient's question:
My baby is one year and eight months old. The day before yesterday, she had a choking incident and had very loose stools, so I took her to see a doctor. The doctor said to give her an IV drip, which I did, but it didn't help. What's worse is that now she's only passing water and doesn't have much energy. What should I do? The doctor suspected it was a seasonal nausea and vomiting condition.Doctor's answer:
Nausea and vomiting in autumn refer to nausea and vomiting that recur every year during the season of October-November. The most affected age group is 6 months to 3 years. The pathogen of this disease is rotavirus. In clinical diagnosis, there are three major characteristics: "cold-like" symptoms, dry retching, and nausea and vomiting. The onset of the disease is often abrupt, with children already showing symptoms such as fever (temperature between 38-39.5°C), cough, and clear nasal discharge, which are typical of "cold-like" symptoms, accompanied by frequent dry retching.
