Patient's question:
The baby is 9 months old. One week ago, he vomited twice at night and had a fever of around 38 degrees Celsius. After physical cooling, he no longer had a fever, but later developed poor appetite and reduced urine output. His stool is sometimes normal, but other times it is yellow and loose. Is this a digestive system issue? How should it be regulated?Doctor's answer:
Dear friend, your baby's gastrointestinal mucosal edema was caused by a fever. At 9 months old, the baby's body functions are still not fully developed. Nausea accompanied by fever was observed, and you addressed the issue well and promptly. However, it is essential to allow for a thorough recovery process, as there may be a reason why the digestive system has not fully recovered. Family members should not be overly anxious.It is recommended to focus on providing easily digestible foods when introducing complementary feeding, moderate fluid intake, ensure adequate indoor air supply, and pay attention to preventing colds. Additionally, carefully monitor the child for a few days. If there are no unusual discomforts, the baby will recover quickly.
Loss of appetite may occur! It is recommended to give the baby more water and consider taking digestive aids for treatment.
