Patient's question:
I've been having diarrhea for three days straight and haven't had any energy, especially at this time.1. Started vomiting on December 18th.
2. On the 20th, I stopped vomiting and started having diarrhea, which has been very severe until now.
Doctor's answer:
If a child has diarrhea and vomiting for three days and now lacks energy, it is more likely caused by dehydration or accompanying electrolyte imbalance.1. If you don’t know how to rehydrate the child during diarrhea and vomiting, and since it has been three days with the child now lacking energy, dehydration or accompanying electrolyte imbalance should be considered. You can give the child appropriate fluids, and it’s best to have their electrolytes checked, such as common conditions like low potassium.
2. Next, actively treat the cause of nausea and vomiting, such as indigestion or intestinal infection, to suppress infection. At the same time, you can take probiotics.
