Patient's question:
The child is 9 months old and has pneumonia. They received a week of intravenous drips, which led to diarrhea. After stopping the drips, the diarrhea improved. Yesterday, they might have overeaten and experienced vomiting and diarrhea. The milk wasn't digested and came out as vomit with a strong sour smell. I don't know if it was due to the cold stimulation from the drips or overeating. What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
This friend, the child's spleen and stomach were damaged as a result of intravenous antibiotics. The child's spleen and stomach are delicate, and any carelessness can cause damage. It is recommended to avoid intravenous fluids for the child in the future, as intravenous antibiotics can lead to drug resistance and are not good for the child's future constitution. You can consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for a prescription.Secondly, since the child's spleen and stomach are currently damaged, medication should be taken under the guidance of a professional to avoid blind medication for the child, which could worsen the condition.
