Patient's question:
A 7-and-a-half-year-old child was said to have a stomachache around 2 PM and again vomited dryly at 3 PM. The pediatric hospital suggested it might be due to a cold stomach and prescribed medication. So far, they have vomited 5 times and had one bowel movement. They vomit everything they eat, including water, and feel slightly better after vomiting. Currently, the child is in good spirits. (The child mentioned drinking a sip of soda and sugar water before feeling uncomfortable, worrying it might be food poisoning.)Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, if the child repeatedly feels nauseous and vomits, the most common cause is acute gastroenteritis triggered by consuming unclean food. At this time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for intravenous fluid therapy and appropriately use Montmorillonite powder for anti-diarrheal treatment. The above content is the complete answer to the question: "What's wrong with a 7.5-year-old child who said their stomach felt uncomfortable around 2 PM and then vomited?" We hope the patient can quickly overcome the illness and recover soon!
