What should I do if my child is vomiting, sleepy, lacking energy, and crying?

Patient's question:

Nausea, loss of appetite, lack of energy, crying. The child is 10 and a half months old. This morning, they were constantly crying, then vomited. The vomit was sticky and sour, with curds. After eating, they vomited again after a while. Could it be indigestion caused by catching a cold?

Doctor's answer:

According to the description, it might be indigestion? Or perhaps a gastrointestinal cold caused by catching a cold? Is there any fever? It would be a good idea to have a blood test and an emergency ultrasound check. If the vomiting persists, it's recommended to receive intravenous fluid treatment to prevent electrolyte loss, dehydration, and hypoglycemia. Pay attention to keeping warm and maintaining a balanced diet. You could also try drinking small amounts of ginger and brown sugar tea multiple times a day, as it may help stop vomiting and has additional benefits such as dispelling cold, reducing swelling, lowering fever, and clearing the lungs.
