Patient's question:
A newborn has vomiting and diarrhea. When discharged, the doctor said just drink more water. They were discharged on the 4th day. On the 7th day, they experienced vomiting and diarrhea again and were readmitted. It has been 3 days of vomiting and diarrhea so far, and they have been receiving intravenous fluids without improvement. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to check if the stool issue is due to indigestion or intestinal. It is also important to consider whether it is caused by a common cold leading to intestinal dysfunction. If it is indigestion, it is suggested to take oral digestive medication, seek medical attention seriously, and receive intravenous treatment. The feeding interval should be extended. Rest the stomach and intestines. Drink more water. If supplementary food is added, it should be paused. Alternatively, the addition of supplementary food should be reduced. Gradually recover after improvement. Especially, do not eat too much food.
