Patient's question:
At around 1 PM today, I fed him rice porridge, but he vomited it all up after eating a few mouthfuls. His reaction seemed fine, so I continued as usual. Later, he took a nap, and when he woke up, he had diarrhea. At 3:30 PM, I gave him more rice porridge, but he vomited again just one minute after finishing it.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No matter how I assisted, what should I do now?
Doctor's answer:
In this case, the first consideration is rotavirus infection causing autumnal nausea and vomiting, which manifests as dry heaves, nausea and vomiting, fever, lethargy or irritability, or even decreased urination. Treatment should involve restricting food intake (while allowing fluid intake), taking traditional Chinese medicines such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Soft Capsules, and in severe cases, intravenous fluids to prevent electrolyte and acid-base imbalance. Monitor body temperature, gradually increase food intake, pay attention to drinking plenty of fluids, and add a small amount of salt to the water. Use traditional Chinese medicine antiviral treatments. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
