Patient's question:
Starting from October 2nd, I experienced vomiting, coughing, and a low fever.Test results: Viral levels were significantly elevated.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: On October 3rd, I went to the hospital for an IV drip, which stopped the symptoms, and the fever also subsided. However, I still had some coughing. But this afternoon until now, I’ve started vomiting again, and it has happened four times. The doctor had already mentioned that I wouldn’t need injections tomorrow.
What help I need: I’d like to consult about the cause of this—whether it’s related to only eating porridge and rice.
Doctor's answer:
The child has again developed symptoms of nausea and vomiting, which may indicate viral gastroenteritis, primarily caused by rotavirus infection. The severity of symptoms varies, with severe nausea and vomiting potentially leading to dehydration, and some cases may progress to viral pneumonia. It is recommended to drink plenty of warm water, avoid exposure to cold, and refrain from consuming extremely cold foods. Avoid consuming overly sweet foods. Medications such as Ribavirin granules, Baoji oral liquid, and Montmorillonite can be taken. If dehydration is severe, intravenous fluid therapy may be necessary. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
