Patient's question:
2 years and 9 months, has been vomiting all night, saying stomach pain, no other symptoms, the doctor said acute gastroenteritis, got an IV, the baby still says stomach pain, seeing how much pain she's in, do I need to do any tests?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described about your child, it seems likely that they have acute gastroenteritis. At this point, you have already taken your child to the hospital for treatment and are receiving symptomatic care, which is a positive sign. Currently, your child is still experiencing abdominal pain, which indicates that the condition has not yet been fully controlled. It may be beneficial to continue the focused symptomatic treatment for another two days and observe the progress. Additionally, ensure your child follows a light diet, avoiding foods that are too stimulating, and pay close attention to rest.
