Patient's question:
My child is two years old and has been having frequent bowel movements recently, almost like what he eats comes out. I want to know what might be causing this. Over the past two days, his stools have been very loose, and he hasn't been to the doctor yet. Medical history and treatment effectiveness: No history of allergies. What kind of help do you need: I want to know what might be causing this and what medication he should take.Doctor's answer:
Nausea and vomiting are most commonly caused by infections. A stool test should be conducted to check for possible gastroenteritis or even dysentery. If bacterial gastroenteritis is present, cefixime should be used for treatment. If dysentery is diagnosed, it is necessary to go to a hospital specializing in infectious diseases. Probiotics can be taken to adjust the intestinal flora for treatment. In cases of severe nausea and vomiting, montmorillonite should be used to stop diarrhea. It is also important to pay attention to symptoms of dehydration, such as reduced urine output, lethargy, and poor skin elasticity. Immediate hospital treatment with intravenous fluids is required if these symptoms occur. In terms of diet, it is advisable to avoid greasy and irritating foods and instead consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
