Patient's question:
7 months ago, for the past 3 days, he has been vomiting and having diarrhea. Every time I feed him rice porridge, he throws it all up. ``He has had multiple bowel movements a day, each time passing a lot of stool.`` Taking him to the hospital for medicine didn't help either. ``What method can make him better? What kind of assistance would you like: What medicine can he take to get better?Doctor's answer:
Children experiencing nausea and vomiting can have multiple causes, primarily falling into two categories: one is infectious, where children contract bacteria, viruses, or fungi, which can lead to symptoms such as fever, poor appetite, crying, irritability, watery stools with a foul odor, or the presence of clumps or blood in the stool. The other is non-infectious factors, such as improper feeding, sudden changes in diet, abrupt temperature drops, or incomplete gastrointestinal development in children (physiological diarrhea).Advice: Therefore, do not immediately give children antibiotics when they have diarrhea, as many cases are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are ineffective.
