Patient's question:
Can acupuncture and massage help with vomiting and diarrhea?Previous treatment and effectiveness: Had massage twice, acupuncture once, three injections of medication, and took digestive medicine and montmorillonite. The child is still vomiting and having watery, curd-like stools.
What help is desired: The child is also not eating well, lacks energy, and gets upset easily. When breastfeeding, sometimes vomits and sometimes doesn’t. What should be done?
Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to the current symptoms of the child, which should be considered as manifestations of acute gastroenteritis. At this time, it is generally recommended that the child must receive intravenous treatment. At the same time, it is recommended that the child's stool must undergo routine and thorough examination, as the condition of the child's stool and the current season are considered to be related to viral infections. It is recommended to conduct the examination before implementing targeted treatment. Currently, the child is experiencing dry vomiting and nausea, and oral medication is unlikely to be effective. It is recommended to consider oral medication for stabilization after the symptoms are relieved through intravenous treatment.
