My child, who is 16 months old, had diarrhea last night and it wouldn't stop. How can I stop it?

Patient's question:

Last night, I coughed up a mouthful, and this morning I vomited again. Now I'm both vomiting and having diarrhea. How can I stop my child's vomiting?

Doctor's answer:

When a child has bronchitis, they often experience varying degrees of fever, cough, decreased appetite, or accompanied by dry cough, nausea, and vomiting. Younger children may also exhibit symptoms such as shortness of breath and wheezing, which are characteristic of capillary bronchitis. It is important to frequently change the baby's sleeping position to make it easier for respiratory secretions to be expelled. During deep sleep, ensure the child is well-covered with blankets to maintain their body temperature above 36.5°C. Encourage the child to drink plenty of fluids and maintain a light diet.
