Patient's question:
My friend is now five months pregnant with a fetus. Last night, she started experiencing vomiting and diarrhea, and it has happened many times. My friend is very worried that it might affect her child. For someone in my friend's situation, what should she pay attention to, and what should she eat?Doctor's answer:
You can take one apple, peel it and cut it into small pieces, put it into warm water and cook for 3-5 minutes. After it cools down, you can eat it. Take 2-3 times a day, each time 30-50 grams. Apple is an alkaline food, containing pectin and tannic acid, which have a soothing and anti-diarrheal effect. Drink more water and eat more millet porridge. Avoid spicy and extremely cold greasy foods. Doctors generally do not need to use antibiotics unless it is confirmed that the pathogen is a bacterial infection that can be treated with antibiotics. If a specific antibiotic is used in this way, the effect will be very good. If you lose too much water after dry heaving, nausea, vomiting, and sweating, the doctor may use intravenous infusion to replenish the lost fluids.
