Doctor's answer:

Nausea and vomiting are most commonly caused by infections. A stool test should be conducted to check for possible gastroenteritis or even dysentery. If bacterial gastroenteritis is present, antibiotics like cefalexin may be needed. For dysentery, it is necessary to go to an infectious disease hospital. Probiotics can help regulate the gut flora and treat the condition. In cases of severe nausea and vomiting, Montmorillonite powder can be used to stop diarrhea. It is also important to monitor for symptoms of dehydration, such as reduced urine output, fatigue, and poor skin elasticity. Immediate hospitalization for intravenous fluid therapy may be required. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods, while avoiding greasy and irritating foods.
