Patient's question:
My child is 2 years old and had pneumonia for 7 days of IV drip treatment. It just stopped yesterday, but in the morning, he vomited several mouthfuls of viscous fluid. After vomiting, he coughed twice, and in the afternoon, he started having diarrhea. At first, the stool was dry and hard, but later it became a thin, consistency. He had 45 bowel movements today. This morning, my child is particularly lethargic and lacks energy, just lying around and sleeping. What should I do? Should I use medication?Previous Treatment and Effect: The pneumonia was treated with a 7-day IV drip.
Help Needed: The doctor who administered the IV drip said that diarrhea is normal, but my child can't just keep having diarrhea. It's urgent. Can I use Montmorillonite powder?
Doctor's answer:
It's nausea and vomiting caused by indigestion, which can decide to give the baby appropriate oral digestive aids. 1. Probiotics are drugs that regulate the intestinal flora, and they will never have any side effects. Montmorillonite should not be taken if there is no nausea and vomiting. If the nausea and vomiting last for a long time, oral Xingspi Yang'er Keli can be considered. The above is advice on the question "Is it normal for a child to vomit after receiving an intravenous drip for pneumonia and have normal diarrhea?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wish you health!
