Doctor's answer:

The condition of your child exhibits symptoms of acute gastroenteritis, which typically includes nausea, vomiting, retching, and abdominal pain. Your child's condition requires active medical treatment and should not take ciprofloxacin-class medications.
For your child's condition, I recommend starting with rest and a light, warm, easily digestible diet, which is very important. It is advisable for your child to actively take Montmorillonite Powder and Cefalexin Granules for treatment, as they are highly effective. If this does not improve, active intravenous fluid treatment should be administered. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
