Patient's question:
Health Consultation Description: Doctor, my son just turned 18 years old 15 days ago. The day before yesterday, he was straining hard to have a bowel movement, but the next day he developed diarrhea. He also vomited everything he ate, and the vomit contained mucus. He went to the doctor and was given medicine to take. In the evening, he noticed he had a high fever and went to the hospital for an IV drip, which lowered the fever, but he stopped vomiting. Yesterday, he only had one loose bowel movement, but this morning he had two more. When I took his stool to be tested, the doctor said it was no longer useful after 30 minutes. The doctor examined the stool and said it was indigestion, green in color, and contained protein-like substances. He was given medicine to take home. After dinner, he has had two more bowel movements since then. I don’t know what to do. I’m calling for expert advice, please help. Thank you. He is still eating white rice porridge and I haven’t dared to change his diaper.Doctor's answer:
Hello. Based on the symptoms of watery nausea and vomiting, it is likely either gastroenteritis or indigestion caused by cold exposure. It is recommended to actively take medication for symptomatic treatment. Currently, you can try taking Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus Granules to see if it helps. Additionally, take Smecta as an anti-diarrheal medication. Watery nausea and vomiting can lead to dehydration. In severe cases, intravenous fluid therapy may be necessary to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
