Patient's question:
Yesterday my husband took the child out to play, and they might have eaten too many messy snacks. They also had hot dogs from the street. The child woke up in the morning with a fever, kept dry heaving, and had diarrhea. Even the milk I managed to feed them all came back up. What should I do about the child's fever, dry heaving, nausea, and vomiting?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms in the child appear to be a recurrence of acute gastrointestinal illness, likely caused by improper diet. It could also be due to cold exposure or bacterial or viral infections. In this case, it is necessary to seek medical review promptly. If it is a bacterial infection, oral anti-inflammatory medication should be taken. Avoid stimulating foods to prevent the possibility of clinical symptoms worsening. It is recommended to take medication under the guidance of a local doctor.
