Patient's question:
The baby is 8 months old and has had a reaction to the MMR vaccine, which included vomiting at night, diarrhea for a long time, and high fever with unstable body temperature, in addition to a rash. Now at 19 months, will there be any late-term issues? The baby experiences low-grade fever or diarrhea at intervals, and it took until after 14 months to recover.Treatment history and effectiveness: fever reduction and anti-inflammatory treatment, as well as Montmorillonite treatment.
What kind of help is needed: The child is 19 months old and walks unsteadily, sometimes standing on tiptoes. They scream loudly when they dislike something and say they don’t want to, especially when being told to call people. Is this poor growth and development?
Doctor's answer:
Nausea, vomiting, and retching are most commonly caused by infections. A urine test is needed to check for bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections, and a stool test should be conducted to see if there is any intestinal inflammation. Based on the results of the urine and stool tests, medication should be administered according to the symptoms.If there is retching accompanied by fatigue, it is important to be alert to possible conditions such as myocarditis or appendicitis. Probiotics can be taken to adjust the gut flora and treat the condition. Smecta can be used to stop diarrhea. If the retching is severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital for intravenous antiemetic medication. Additionally, if there are symptoms of dehydration, immediate hospitalization for intravenous fluid therapy is required. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
