What are the symptoms of diarrhea and dehydration in a one-year-old baby?

Patient's question:

My baby had a stomach cold at midnight. This morning, when she woke up, she was vomiting and having diarrhea. In the morning, she drank 5ml of Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid without vomiting. After that, she vomited everything she ate (thick porridge) and drank. Just now, she had another bowel movement, which was watery and looked like egg-like stool.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Of course, the baby will be in a bad mood if they have diarrhea. You don't need to worry too much. I'm from the pediatric department.
Advice: Go to the hospital to get some Loperamide (Imodium) medication. It can be taken orally or used for enemas, and it works very well. Our hospital usually prescribes it this way. The course of diarrhea in children is generally a bit long.
