Patient's question:
The baby is 9 months old. About a week ago, they vomited twice at night and had a fever of around 38 degrees Celsius. After physical cooling, they no longer had a fever, but later developed poor appetite and reduced urine output. Their stool was sometimes normal, but other times it was yellow and loose. Is this a digestive system issue? How should it be regulated?Doctor's answer:
This friend, your baby's gastrointestinal mucosal edema was caused by a fever. At 9 months, the baby's body functions are still not fully developed. Nausea accompanied by fever, you resolved it very well and promptly. However, there must be a thorough recovery process, and it's necessary to consider whether the digestive system hasn't fully recovered yet. The family should definitely not be overly anxious.It is recommended to pay attention to providing complementary foods based on easily digestible foods, moderately digesting fluids, and ensuring adequate indoor air supply. At the same time, pay attention to preventing colds and carefully observe the child for a few days. If there are no special discomforts, the child will recover quickly. It may lead to poor appetite!
Suggestion: Give the baby more water and consider taking digestive aid medication for treatment.
