Patient's question:
A one-year-old and three-month-old baby eats and spits out everything. After being given intravenous fluids for a day, the vomiting has reduced slightly, but the baby is not eating anything anymore. It has now been three days since the intravenous fluids were started.Doctor's answer:
According to your purchase situation, the baby eats what and vomits what, considering this is caused by acute gastroenteritis. It is recommended to do a complete blood count test to see if it is bacterial or viral infection. Based on the test results, symptomatic treatment such as anti-inflammatory and antiviral drugs should be given, and do not force the baby to defecate. First, carefully observe the baby's mental state. If the mental state is poor, a complete blood count, electrolytes, and abdominal ultrasound should be checked to see if there is a deficiency. If the baby does not eat, it is necessary to focus on fluid supplementation.
