Patient's question:
The baby is seven months old and vomited after taking oral Gluconate Zinc Calcium solution, then had diarrhea. They have stopped the medication and have been taking probiotics for five days, but the diarrhea still persists. It gets better when they eat less, but continues with watery stools when they eat more. What should they do? They have been taking probiotics and anti-inflammatory medication and want to ask how to treat it. The more they eat, the more watery the stools are; eating less improves it.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if the baby experiences nausea, vomiting, and watery diarrhea again, which lasts for a long time, it should be considered as viral gastroenteritis. It is entirely possible to decide to make a follow-up visit for a check-up for the above conditions. It is also entirely possible to decide to make a follow-up visit to the hospital for a thorough examination of blood routine and stool routine. If the gastroenteritis is caused by a viral infection, it is possible to decide to use medications such as seabuckthorn dry emulsion, smectite, and probiotics for symptomatic treatment. During this period, appropriate fluid supplementation should be provided to prevent dehydration symptoms.
