Patient's question:
A 14-month-old baby has had diarrhea since last night. They have been taking Montmorillonite powder and vomited twice during the night. Today, they have been willing to eat something and are in relatively good spirits. However, by the evening, they are not feeling well, are agitated, don't want to move, and just want to take a nap. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
From the situation you described, it seems that the baby may still have some gastrointestinal discomfort. It is recommended to let the baby rest more, drink more water, monitor the body temperature data, and eat fewer supplementary foods and snacks. If necessary, go to the hospital for a follow-up visit. The child is over a year old and has experienced nausea and vomiting again, along with recurrent dry retching. During the day, the child is in good spirits, but at night, they become agitated, lethargic, and have a poor appetite. It is advisable to take the child to the hospital for examination, as the nausea and vomiting may have led to an imbalance in electrolyte secretion.
