Patient's question:
My baby is three years old this year. Recently, I don't know if it's because of the wrong formula or something else, but he has been vomiting and feeling very nauseous. This morning, he even lost water directly. I took him to the hospital, and I am very worried about his condition. I would like to consult about this. What should be done in cases of infant diarrhea and dehydration?Doctor's answer:
Children experiencing multiple episodes of nausea and vomiting may show symptoms of dehydration, which can be effectively alleviated by promptly administering intravenous fluids to the child. The child's poor mental state and lack of skin elasticity are due to dehydration. The repeated occurrence of dehydration symptoms in the child is primarily related to prolonged nausea and vomiting. If the child experiences frequent episodes of nausea and vomiting, in addition to providing anti-diarrheal treatment, it is recommended to promptly administer oral rehydration solutions to the child to replenish fluids.
