Patient's question:

Today morning I had diarrhea and didn't eat anything. Just at 4:30, I drank some water and vomited. I ate leftover crabs and fresh black fish. Test results: No tests were conducted. Past treatment and effectiveness: Today I received 2 bottles of intravenous fluids. What kind of help do you need: What's going on with me?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, your daughter has had diarrhea and vomiting today, which is likely acute gastroenteritis. The main symptoms include: upper abdominal pain and discomfort, decreased appetite, nausea and dry heaving, sometimes accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Recurrence is often due to improper diet.
Recommended treatment plan:
1. Use anti-diarrheal medication, such as Montmorillonite.
2. Take anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Gentamicin.
Additionally, oral pediatric electrolyte solution can be administered to replenish digestive fluids. If severe, intravenous fluids are recommended. Rest in bed, avoid cold exposure, and fast for 12 hours. Afterward, gradually reintroduce small amounts of liquid food, such as rice soup, lotus root starch, or thin porridge and noodle soup.
