Patient's question:
My baby has been vomiting a lot these past two days; he vomits whenever he eats anything. It might be because he drank too much beverage two days ago or got chilled. Now the child hasn't eaten anything for two days and has no energy at all. What should I do? I want to know how to make him recover quickly and regain his strength. Not eating is not an option either.Doctor's answer:
Nausea is most commonly caused by infections, and a urine test is needed to check for bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections. Medications should be prescribed based on the results of the urine and stool tests. If nausea is accompanied by fatigue, it's important to be alert to possible conditions such as myocarditis or appendicitis. Probiotics can help regulate the gut flora to treat nausea. If the nausea is severe, it is recommended to go to the hospital for intravenous antiemetic medication. Additionally, if symptoms of dehydration are present, immediate hospital treatment with intravenous fluid replacement is necessary. In terms of diet, it's best to eat light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
