Patient's question:
Got a viral diarrhea once and took a lot of Western medicine during that time. After the condition improved, his appetite was very good. In the week after recovery, he could eat four bowls of rice a day, four times a day. This situation lasted for about two weeks, and suddenly he stopped eating again and had recurrent diarrhea. Don't know how to solve it?Doctor's answer:
Okay! If the child has always been like this, then it should be considered due to a weak spleen and stomach; if it's only been happening recently, then acute gastroenteritis should be considered. Currently, the possibility of acute gastroenteritis is the highest. If the vomiting is severe, it is recommended to temporarily fast for a period of four to six hours and avoid taking any medication. The purpose is to allow the stomach to get adequate rest, which is beneficial for recovery. If the child is very thirsty, they can drink a small amount of ginger and brown sugar water, which can help warm the stomach and stop vomiting. If drinking water does not cause vomiting, they can drink small amounts of water multiple times. Never drink a large amount at once, as it may stimulate the stomach and intestines, potentially causing further vomiting. Once the child stops vomiting, they can start eating small, frequent meals and gradually increase the amount until their normal appetite is restored.
