Patient's question:
Hello expert; The child is two years old, has had diarrhea for three days, watery, not eating or drinking, vomiting everything they drink, with low fever. They went to the hospital, received IV fluids, and were given medication, but the child won’t take it—no matter what they eat or drink, it all comes back up. What should we do? Urgent! Urgent! Thank you for your guidance and help.Doctor's answer:
The child has diarrhea with vomiting. It's important to consider whether the child has developed a stomach flu. Generally, when a child has a stomach flu, they may experience nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. Some may also develop a fever. In this case, it's necessary to consider whether the child has eaten something unclean or been infected with a virus, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort.If the child is able to take medication at this time, they can be given oral Huoxiang Zhengqi oral liquid to help alleviate the symptoms of the stomach flu. If the child cannot take the medication and has severe vomiting symptoms, an enema can be administered through the rectum to deliver the medication directly into the intestines, achieving a therapeutic effect.
