Patient's question:
The baby has been vomiting and having diarrhea since last night at midnight. She has been getting IV fluids for the past two days and has developed pneumonia and bronchitis. Suddenly, this happened, and we thought it was related to these conditions. Yesterday, we told the doctor, who gave her an anti-nausea shot. However, she still vomited at night, so we took her back to the hospital for a thorough examination. Below are the results of the thorough examination. The doctor used suppositories to help her have a bowel movement. Within less than five minutes, the baby had a lot of watery, smelly diarrhea. Then the doctor said to give her water and not feed her anything for the next three hours to see if she would still vomit. Now the baby is not vomiting anymore, but when she got up in the morning, she had a sip of milk and had another bout of watery diarrhea. I want to ask, is she getting better now?Doctor's answer:
From the abdominal plain film of the child, it is mainly observed that there is severe gastrointestinal gas. In addition, further careful examination of electrolytes and blood routine is needed to check. The main focus is to determine if there is any electrolyte imbalance, such as low potassium and low sodium. It is also important to observe how neutrophils or lymphocytes are elevated. Based on the examination results, decisions will be made on how to use antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as how to manage electrolytes. The above suggestions are for the issue of "the baby has been vomiting and having diarrhea since last night." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
