Patient's question:
A 1.5-year-old baby has been vomiting and having diarrhea today—vomited twice and had four bowel movements, not very watery. Is it because they ate too much? The baby often does this, sometimes having diarrhea, sometimes vomiting. What should I do? Is it a sign of poor digestion or a weak stomach?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described above, it is most likely that the baby's condition is caused by indigestion. It is recommended that the mother pay attention to a light diet for the baby, avoiding spicy, greasy, raw, cold, and irritating foods. Drinking warm water frequently is also advised. If necessary, it is recommended to take the child to the pediatric outpatient department of the local hospital for a follow-up visit and a complete blood test. This will help the mother feel at ease.
