Doctor's answer:
This situation is quite complex for the baby. Many babies with pneumonia also have gastrointestinal symptoms. Pneumonia requires the use of antibiotics (if it is confirmed to be viral pneumonia, it might not be necessary), but antibiotics can lead to intestinal flora imbalance, causing nausea and vomiting. However, antibiotics cannot be avoided either. Babies with diarrhea are most afraid of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. If dehydration occurs, it is best to seek hospital treatment for proper fluid supplementation. Pay attention to hygiene in diet, and frequently sterilize tableware, otherwise repeated infection can make nausea and vomiting difficult to recover. It is good to eat anti-nausea formula, and it is best to consume it for 7 to 10 days.
