Patient's question:
My child is a picky eater and secretly went out to buy street food barbecue without telling his parents. As a result, he felt nauseous and vomited that night. He was holding his stomach and complaining of pain, constantly retching. We were panicked because he had never reacted this severely to barbecue before. How to deal with this children's gastroenteritis and retching?Doctor's answer:
Hello! First, take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treat the disease according to the cause. If the child is vomiting severely, intravenous digestive fluids should be given to prevent dehydration. Acute gastroenteritis should try to avoid letting the child defecate, and it is best to allow the gastrointestinal function to rest. Gastroenteritis will recover faster this way. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene habits, avoiding spicy, irritating, and greasy foods. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and keep a light diet as the foundation. Eat less and more meals, and develop good habits.
