Patient's question:
Due to catching a cold, I have some diarrhea with foamy stools. About the past treatment and its effects: I was taking medicine for a cold and did not treat the diarrhea. What kind of help I need: Could you please recommend a medicine that works well and does not conflict with Children's Paracetamol and Sulfamethoxazole Polysaccharide Granules?Doctor's answer:
Nausea and vomiting caused by cold exposure are primarily considered to be due to spleen and stomach deficiency cold. The treatment mainly involves strengthening the spleen and stomach and aiding digestion. You can give your child herbal powders like Ji Nei Jin San, which are beneficial for strengthening the spleen and stomach, along with applying abdominal patches for treatment. These methods are not in conflict with Erius (paracetamol, pseudoephedrine, and antihistamine). Encourage your child to drink more hot water to prevent further exposure to cold. If you are administering anti-inflammatory medications, be cautious about whether they are causing the nausea and vomiting, as the child is young. It is best not to use anti-inflammatory medications unless there is clear evidence of inflammation. Then, carefully monitor your child's condition. I hope my explanation will be helpful to you.
