What should I do if my child has diarrhea and vomiting?

Patient's question:

1. Vomiting after eating and having diarrhea. Took three rounds of diarrhea medicine, but it didn't help.
2. The small injection this morning still isn't working. IV drip was administered in the afternoon, but still vomiting, diarrhea, and often sleeping.
What help is needed:
1. Should the IV drip continue?
2. What should be done? Thank you for giving some advice.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Sometimes, children may experience diarrhea due to intestinal inflammation, poor digestion, or catching a cold. I suggest you can first use an umbilical patch for treatment, pay attention to keeping warm, and seek medical attention if the condition is severe. It is likely caused by catching a cold or poor digestion, so medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Montmorillonite powder, probiotics, pediatric stomach-strengthening powder, and chicken gizzard powder can be used for treatment. It is important to ensure the baby drinks plenty of water. Breastfeeding mothers should follow a light diet and avoid raw, cold, and irritating foods.
