What are the symptoms of acute gastritis in children?

Patient's question:

Main symptoms: Vomiting with low fever, caused by eating hot pot the previous night
Onset time: Three vomits at midnight the previous night, throwing up all the hot pot food
Laboratory test results: Acute gastritis

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition:
This is due to poor diet or exposure to cold, causing acute gastroenteritis. Treatment primarily involves anti-infection and correction of electrolyte disorders. For severe cases, intravenous fluids may be administered, while oral medications are also acceptable but may take longer to show effects.
Advice:
It is recommended to continue taking the original medication and closely monitor the condition. If there is a worsening trend, seek medical attention promptly.
Lifestyle care:
Dietary adjustment is very important. It is best to consume liquid or semi-liquid foods, with moderate temperature, in small amounts and multiple meals throughout the day. Each meal should be light, and eating more frequently is advisable.
