Patient's question:
Due to gastroenteritis caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease, I took medication for a total of 11 days. Now that I've been discharged, the doctor said it's okay to drink formula milk. I started giving my baby formula milk three days ago, but he experienced nausea and vomiting. After stopping the formula milk for two or three days, he still has nausea and vomiting on some days and no nausea on others. My baby just stopped breastfeeding and now can't drink formula milk either. He's very fussy and cries a lot. He's also still coughing and sneezing, and it seems like he has bronchitis with a wheezing sound in his throat.Hello, can I directly switch to a different brand of formula milk for my baby? Will this put pressure on his digestive system and cause more nausea and vomiting? The formula milk I'm currently giving him is (Auyou Nengliu).
Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned is gastroenteritis caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease. This can be resolved by ensuring symmetry on both sides and monitoring the condition. Of course, probiotics can help in regulating the gut. Generally, the nausea and vomiting caused by this issue will gradually stabilize, so there's no need to overworry. It's not advisable to switch to a new formula. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do about gastroenteritis caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease?" I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
