Doctor's answer:
Nausea and vomiting are caused by many different factors, such as enteritis, catching a cold, physiological diarrhea, and autumnal nausea and vomiting, etc. It is recommended to first stop diarrhea and treat it. You can take some auxiliary medications that can inhibit bacteria, clear heat and dry dampness, solidify the intestines and stop diarrhea, regulate intestinal activity and immunity, and can thoroughly remove free radicals and adhere to intestinal toxins. Vomiting requires more water to be given to prevent dehydration caused by the body fundamentally.
