Patient's question:
The baby started running a fever yesterday. The main symptoms are a runny nose and hiccups. This morning, she didn't eat much noodles, had dinner earlier in the afternoon, and didn't eat much either. After that, she was given 200 ML of formula, which she mostly finished. Around 2 PM, she started dry heaving, and everything she ate in the afternoon came up. Later, she also vomited water, and everything she ate was vomited out. She vomited about three or four times in total. The hospital had already closed, so we went to a pharmacy, and the doctor prescribed Xiao Er Xiao Ji Qing Fei Kou Rong and Tou Bao Ke Yue Kui Granules, which I haven't given her yet.Past Treatment and Effectiveness:
When she had a fever, she was given cold medicine, which provided some help.
Request for Assistance:
Is it effective for the baby to take Xiao Er Xiao Ji Qing Fei Kou Rong and Tou Bao Ke Yue Kui Granules in this condition? How does it relate to clearing the lungs? Is there a more effective and convenient way to help stop her dry heaving?
Doctor's answer:
Nausea in children is a pathological phenomenon, commonly seen in acute enteritis, gastritis, pyloric spasm, hypertrophy, stenosis, pneumonia, meningitis, and other diseases. Its main characteristics include concurrent nausea, increased abdominal pressure, frequent vomiting of milk, a large amount of dry retching, often containing milk curds and stomach contents, and even mixed with green bile at times. Dry retching may resemble spitting. Due to the underlying primary disease, the child often exhibits expressions of pain and crying that are far more intense during vomiting. When parents notice dry retching in their child, they must pay close attention and seek medical attention promptly.
