Patient's question:
My baby is 20 months old and has been having diarrhea and not eating well for the past two days. This morning, he also had vomiting. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The child has diarrhea, poor appetite, accompanied by nausea. It is considered possible to be a gastrointestinal type cold or functional dyspepsia. It is necessary to ask: is the child's mental state good? Are there curds in the stool? It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for stool and blood tests first. After diagnosing a gastrointestinal type cold, probiotics and antiviral oral liquid should be used for conditioning. If it is functional dyspepsia, then probiotics and pediatric stomach-strengthening powder should be used for conditioning. Eat small meals frequently, and pay attention to preventing abdominal cold.
