Patient's question:
In recent days, the baby has been crying non-stop and has also been having diarrhea, with several episodes a day. What should be done if a 4-year-old child vomits at night and then has loose stools the next day?Doctor's answer:
Nausea and vomiting, must go to the hospital for a complete blood count and a stool examination, and stool culture can be performed when necessary for timely treatment of nausea and vomiting. Oral rehydration salts (ORS), Montmorillonite, and triple live bacteria granules can be taken. If there is an infection, antibiotics can be used, but antibiotics cannot be taken at the same time as triple live bacteria granules. A liquid diet is recommended, and intravenous therapy may be necessary to prevent electrolyte imbalance. In addition, during the treatment of diarrhea, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary effects on the complete recovery of diarrhea.
