Patient's question:
The baby is 10 months old. Starting from the beginning of this month, the baby has had diarrhea. After taking medicine, it improved, but then followed by a runny nose. Gradually, the baby started coughing, which was diagnosed as bronchitis. After drinking medicine, it basically recovered. However, on the third day of stopping the medicine, the baby vomited and had diarrhea in the middle of the night. On the third day, the baby also had a low fever, which was said to be caused by rotavirus-induced nausea and vomiting. Since yesterday, the medicine has been stopped, and the symptoms have basically improved. The baby has been on medication for nearly 20 days in total. Recently, the baby has been reluctant to sleep on its stomach at night. I don't know what's going on?Doctor's answer:
In this case, considering sleeping on the stomach is just a position chosen by the baby to alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort during growth and development. There is no need to worry. It is recommended that mothers can gently massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction during the day to promote gastrointestinal movement, ensure adequate nutrition, and pay attention to preventing colds. It is also possible that nausea and vomiting may have caused gastrointestinal discomfort, but this is also not something to be concerned about. As long as the baby is doing well, it can gradually recover on its own.
