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 saline, and were given medication, but the child won’t take it. If they do, it all comes back up. What should we do? Urgent! Urgent! Thank you to the expert for providing guidance and help.Doctor's answer:
The child has diarrhea with vomiting, and it's important to consider whether the child has developed a stomach flu. Generally, when a child has a stomach flu, symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, and lethargy. Some children may also develop a fever. In such cases, it's necessary to consider whether the child has consumed something unclean or has been infected with a virus, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort.If the child is able to take medication at this time, oral Huoxiang Zhengqi oral liquid can be given to help alleviate the symptoms of the stomach flu. If the child is unable to take the medication and is experiencing severe vomiting, an intestinal retention enema can be used to administer the medication through the rectum into the intestines, achieving a therapeutic effect.
