Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby started dry vomiting a few days ago and continued for two days, then developed a fever. After the fever subsided, he began to feel nauseous and vomit. When I went to the hospital, the doctor suggested checking his stool because it was suspected to be rotavirus. However, my baby only has 1-2 bowel movements a day, and the timing of the stool hasn't been checked yet. Could this be rotavirus? If it is, can my baby consume nutritional supplements containing the protein or an anti-nausea and vomiting formula?Doctor's answer:
The little baby suddenly started dry heaving a few days ago, and after two days, a fever developed. Subsequently, nausea and vomiting reappeared. The hospital's thorough examination confirmed the diagnosis of rotavirus infection. Can the baby consume nutritional supplements containing protein or anti-nausea/vomiting formula? The treatment for rotavirus gastroenteritis primarily focuses on reducing symptoms, suppressing fever, and alleviating dry heaving. It is best to avoid high-protein nutritional supplements or formula. The above advice is in response to the question, "Doctor, my baby suddenly started dry heaving a few days ago." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
