Patient's question:
Last night at 1 a.m., I woke up with a headache and nausea, and I vomited five or six times and had diarrhea twice. I only ate half a fish for dinner yesterday, and others ate it too, but nothing happened to them. After vomiting, I fell asleep. When I woke up this morning, I felt fine—no headache, no vomiting, no diarrhea. I want to know if this was food poisoning or acute intestinal inflammation because I am breastfeeding and don't know if I can focus on breastfeeding. Before vomiting at night, I fed the baby once, and she is doing fine now.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is likely acute gastroenteritis caused by improper diet. If there are no symptoms at the moment, you can focus on breastfeeding. It is recommended to drink more warm water, follow a light and easily digestible diet, avoid extremely cold and irritating foods, and pay attention to keeping your abdomen warm. In daily life, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, exercise more, get less sleep, and enhance your physical fitness, such as running, playing ball, or swimming, which are beneficial to your health.
