Patient's question:
Child has diarrhea for 5 days, stool is watery and slightly green. What should I do? My child has had diarrhea for 5 days, and the stool is watery and slightly green. They vomit 4-5 times a day, and since today, they vomit every time they eat something.Doctor's answer:
Problem Analysis: I don't know if the stool is like white rice soup or yellow egg yolk. This situation is usually caused by a viral gastroenteritis in infants. Viral gastroenteritis is a common illness during this season and is caused by rotavirus infection. Children under two years old are particularly susceptible to this illness, and some may experience vomiting and fever.Advice: In this case, you can give your child some ginger, jujubes, and full bellies to stop vomiting. You can use probiotics that are beneficial to the body to regulate the intestinal flora. Chinese medicine granules and navel patches can also be used to treat diarrhea. Drink more sugar and salt water to avoid dehydration. If symptoms do not improve or the child appears drowsy, it is necessary to go to the hospital for intravenous treatment.
