Patient's question:
A little bit of strength, nothing left, spitting out a unclear substance. About the previous treatment and effects: took Mammy Treasure, what kind of assistance is needed: at night, don't know how to solve it at home....Doctor's answer:

Frequent vomiting and diarrhea can lead to dehydration, electrolyte and acid-base imbalance. Please seek pediatric medical attention at the local hospital as soon as possible.1. Western medicine treatment
(1) General treatment: Rest as much as possible and take oral glucose-electrolyte solutions to replenish lost fluids. If persistent vomiting or significant dehydration occurs, intravenous fluids of 5%–10% glucose saline and other relevant electrolytes may be needed. Encourage the intake of light liquid or semi-liquid foods to prevent dehydration or treat mild dehydration.
(2) Symptomatic treatment: Antiemetic drugs may be administered when necessary, such as intramuscular chlorpromazine 25–100 mg daily. Antispasmodic drugs, such as belladonna 8 mg, 11 times daily, 3 times a day. Anti-diarrheal drugs, such as Smecta 1 packet each time, 2–3 times a day.
(3) Antibacterial treatment: The effectiveness of antibiotics in treating this condition is controversial. For infectious nausea and vomiting, targeted antibiotics can be appropriately used, such as berberine 0.3 g orally, 3 times a day, or gentamicin 80,000 U orally, 3 times a day. However, caution should be taken to avoid antibiotic side effects.
