Patient's question:
The baby ate meat dumplings and vomited for the first day, then went to get an IV on the third day and didn't have diarrhea until the third day. Now, it has been having diarrhea for 5 days. On the 19th, at noon, the baby ate frozen dumplings that were bought. Previous treatment and effectiveness: No particular care was taken. Assistance needed: How can the baby stop the nausea and vomiting?Doctor's answer:
Considering that gastrointestinal function may not have fully recovered after a child's diarrhea, leading to digestive discomfort, it is recommended to avoid or minimize the intake of easily gas-producing foods such as sweets. Sugar can exacerbate nausea and vomiting when fermented in the intestines. Foods rich in protein, such as eggs, dairy products, and meat, are difficult to digest and should be consumed in moderation. Fruits and vegetables high in fiber, such as pineapple, cabbage, chili peppers, chives, and sweet potatoes, can stimulate intestinal movement and help alleviate nausea and vomiting. Children experiencing nausea and vomiting should be encouraged to eat these types of fruits and vegetables in limited amounts. Cooked apples contain malic acid, which can be mashed and given to children in sufficient quantities.
