Patient's question:
The baby is three years old. It has been more than a week since it hasn't eaten, only drinking a little milk in the morning. After giving it two days of stomach medicine, it started coughing again. It has a slight fever at night. What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
After suffering from a respiratory infection, children often experience gastrointestinal symptoms again, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, dry heaving, and poor appetite. If the child does not have a runny nose, it is not necessary to use it. Pay close attention to monitoring the child's temperature changes and mental state. At the same time, pay close attention to observing the tongue coating and stool condition, and maintain regular bowel movements (body temperature is easily restored). Appropriate oral digestive aid medication can be taken.
