What is the reason for the baby's stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting?

Patient's question:

The baby first said his stomach hurts, then had diarrhea. After 30 minutes of diarrhea, he vomited twice. Just now I noticed something was wrong. I want to ask, what is this usually like? How is it treated?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your child's condition, it may be possible that they have acute gastroenteritis. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a check-up to determine whether it is viral gastroenteritis or bacterial infection-induced. Treatment should be symptomatic based on the situation. If vomiting is severe, intravenous treatment should be administered to prevent dehydration in the child. Avoid all spicy and irritating foods. Food should be easy to digest, soft, with minimal fiber, and free of irritation. It is advisable to moderately consume foods and fruits rich in dietary fiber.
