Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, the baby had diarrhea. The medicine didn't work, so we gave him an IV drip, which helped. It lasted for two days. Yesterday, he had diarrhea again. A total of 11 times. We took him to the hospital. The doctor just gave him some medicine, but it didn't work. Today, he had diarrhea seven or eight more times. I want to ask what's going on.Doctor's answer:
I'm happy to explain your question. It might be that your baby is experiencing nausea and vomiting in the autumn. Generally, after falling ill, it's necessary to seek medical attention for a thorough examination. However, if your baby is in good spirits, able to eat and drink, and shows no signs of dehydration, there's no immediate need to go to the hospital.When you notice that your baby is different from usual—such as dry mouth and tongue, high fever, or blood in the stool—it's essential to seek medical attention promptly.
If your baby experiences nausea and vomiting, parents should pay close attention to keeping their abdomen warm to prevent abdominal chills, which can help alleviate the condition and prevent recurring diarrhea.
Hydrate with fluids and reduce food intake.
