Patient's question:
The baby is 15 months old. A week ago, he had a fever and seizures, and later was hospitalized for treatment. The fever has now subsided. After a day, the child started vomiting after eating, accompanied by diarrhea, but it was still relatively loose, and the frequency had significantly increased. I would like to ask if treatment for the diarrhea should start now.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is suggested that if you have the above conditions, you can collect your baby's stool in a clean container for testing. It is advisable to follow up for retesting. Based on the test results, appropriate measures can then be taken. If the baby's stool test is normal, there is no need to be overly concerned. Pay attention to preventing abdominal cold and maintaining a gentle diet. Observation can be the first step. During this period, the baby's diet should be mild and light. It is recommended to receive intravenous fluid therapy promptly to prevent electrolyte imbalances.
