Patient's question:
11-month-old baby currently vomiting and diarrhea. I am very worried. The child's symptoms keep recurring. We have already had some tests done. I hope the doctor can help us.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up in this situation. The child may have acute gastroenteritis. It could be possible that it is autumnal diarrhea. It is suggested to add an antiviral medication to the treatment you mentioned. Since the child is vomiting severely, it is recommended to temporarily fast for four to six hours, including medication, to give the stomach a rest and aid in recovery. However, if the child is extremely thirsty, small amounts of brown sugar water can be given in multiple doses to replenish energy and soothe the stomach.
