Patient's question:
A 9-month-old child, who was playing well, suddenly started vomiting after eating just a couple of bites of food. Then, it continued to vomit everything they ate. Later, after taking medication, the vomiting stopped, but then diarrhea began, lasting for three days. The child even lost fluids due to the diarrhea and had to go to the hospital for IV fluids. The doctor only provided hydration, but after the treatment, the child's condition didn't improve. They slept for a while and then started having diarrhea again. The child is uncomfortable and has been crying nonstop.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby's symptoms are likely caused by acute gastroenteritis, although other causes cannot be ruled out. Based on the baby's symptoms, it is recommended that the baby rest, maintain a regular schedule, drink plenty of warm water to help digest the necessary fluids, eat a light diet, and avoid extremely cold, greasy, spicy, and irritating foods. Currently, the baby is receiving intravenous treatment at the hospital. It is recommended that you follow the doctor's advice and cooperate with the treatment. You can also take probiotics and digestive aids such as compound pepsin tablets for observation. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
