What should I do if my child has vomiting and diarrhea? What should I pay attention to?

Patient's question:

The baby is 18 months old. Since the night before last, they've been vomiting and having diarrhea, and nothing they eat stays down for two days without getting better. They've been given eye drops for two days. How can they get better quickly?

Doctor's answer:

Gastroenteritis is usually caused by microbial infections but can also be triggered by chemical toxins or medications. The typical clinical manifestations include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Vomiting and diarrhea are primarily caused by food accumulation and cold exposure, which are related to a deficiency of the spleen and stomach and the reversal of stomach qi. You can try taking Huoxiang Zhengqi oral liquid, which can be quite effective. It mainly works by resolving dampness, regulating the stomach, strengthening the spleen, and stopping diarrhea. Combining it with other medications can yield even better results.
