Patient's question:
The baby had a fever and drank traditional Chinese medicine, but vomited milk just a few minutes later. Before vomiting, there was a sound coming from the chest, like the stomach making a rumbling noise, a bit like a cat retching with a gurgling stomach before spitting it out! The fever has subsided for 2 days, and it only vomited once. Is it a problem? In addition to reducing the milk formula amount from 150ml to 50ml, the frequency has also increased.Previous treatment and effectiveness: The fever has subsided. What kind of help is needed: Was the sound during vomiting a problem? Is the significant reduction in milk formula amount a problem?
Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of nausea is infection. A urine test is needed to check for bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections. Medications should be prescribed based on the results of the urine and stool tests. If nausea is accompanied by lethargy, it is important to be alert to possible conditions such as myocarditis or appendicitis. Probiotics can be taken to regulate the intestinal flora and treat the condition. If nausea is severe, it is recommended to go to the hospital for intravenous administration of antiemetic drugs. Additionally, if symptoms of dehydration are present, immediate hospitalization for intravenous fluid therapy is necessary.
