Vomiting and diarrhea persisted for two days, accompanied by diarrhea. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Had scans and ultrasounds at the hospital, both normal. Received medication and injections. Recently, she has been weak and lethargic but can eat food. Desired help: Hello, is it possible that the child has other symptoms besides these?Doctor's answer:
Nausea is most commonly caused by infections. 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's important to be alert for conditions such as myocarditis or appendicitis. Probiotics can be taken to regulate the gut flora and treat the condition. If nausea is severe, it's necessary 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 required. In terms of diet, it's advisable to consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
