Doctor's answer:

Nausea and vomiting, accompanied by dry heaves, require immediate medical attention to hospitalize the child for fluid replacement. Both nausea and vomiting can easily lead to dehydration in children.
Recommendation: The child needs fluid replacement. Choose one of the following methods:
1. Customized sugar and salt solution: Dissolve 1.75 grams of refined salt and 10 grams of sugar in 5,000 milliliters of warm water. (1.75 grams of refined salt is equivalent to half a beer bottle cap, and 10 grams of sugar is equivalent to 2 small spoons).
2. Customized rice water with salt solution: Dissolve 1.75 grams of refined salt in 500 milliliters of warm water.
3. ORS (Oral Rehydration Salts) prescribed by the doctor: ORS is a pre-mixed dry powder. Follow the instructions to mix it into a liquid.
