Baby has been getting eczema on his face recently, it gets better and then flares up again, and he also has nausea and vomiting...Doctor's answer:
Here is the English translation of the provided text, with line breaks retained as instructed:Breastfeeding can prevent nausea and vomiting, especially in the first few months after birth, when infants should be fed breast milk as it is the most suitable for their nutritional needs and absorption capacity. Breast milk contains a variety of digestive enzymes and antibodies that infants need, with all nutritional components being highly suitable for absorption and assimilation. It can neutralize enterotoxins from E. coli, offering preventive effects against E. coli infections, being far superior to cow's milk and breast milk substitutes. Breastfeeding should be advocated for all infants except those suffering from tuberculosis, heart, kidney, or other chronic diseases. Proper feeding methods should be followed, ensuring regular breastfeeding and avoiding weaning during summer or when the infant is ill. Breastfeeding can prevent infant diarrhea. Using bowls and spoons instead of bottles is recommended, as bottles, especially those with rubber nipples, are prone to industrial contamination and are difficult to clean and sterilize, which can lead to infant diarrhea. Switching to bowls and spoons reduces the risk of contamination compared to bottles.
Prevent dehydration by replenishing fluids promptly. Use antibiotics appropriately: Avoid prolonged use of broad-spectrum antibiotics to prevent intestinal flora imbalance and the development of drug-resistant bacteria, which can cause enteritis. If the infant has fewer than four bowel movements per day, they can take "Mama Ai" (a probiotic) by dissolving it in milk below 40°C, giving one dose at a time, once every 24 hours. Alternatively, they can take half a dose every 12 hours, but discard the remaining half-dose, as the probiotics lose effectiveness after prolonged storage. If the infant has more than four bowel movements per day, they should also take "Smida" (another medication) along with "Mama Ai," both added to the milk without interfering with their efficacy. To prevent the infant from drinking insufficient milk and affecting the medication's effect, first dissolve the medication in a small amount of milk and give it to the infant, then follow with milk that hasn't been medicated. Additionally, it is advisable to conduct a stool test to check for bacterial infection. If an infection is present, antibiotics may be necessary. Monitor the frequency of bowel movements and provide fluids promptly to prevent dehydration if the infant has excessive diarrhea.
