How to treat vomiting and diarrhea in babies

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently, and they don't eat much. How should vomiting and diarrhea in babies be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is recommended to check if the stool test indicates indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, pay attention to whether a cold may have caused intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye (Mountain Barberry Stomach Tonic) and Smecta can be taken. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Extend the interval between feedings to allow the digestive system to rest. Increase fluid intake. If supplementary foods are being introduced, pause or reduce the amount of food added. Gradually resume adding food once symptoms improve. In particular, avoid foods that are difficult to digest.
