Patient's question:
My child has been feeling nauseous and vomiting since this morning. My family doctor told me that my child has infantile gastroenteritis. However, we don't know what medicine to give him, so we wanted to look up some information on treating infantile gastroenteritis to see what medicine would be appropriate for my child.Doctor's answer:
The causes of nausea and vomiting in infants include bacterial infections, viral infections, and allergic nausea and vomiting. It is necessary to improve the stool routine to clarify the presence of white blood cells. If bacterial nausea and vomiting are considered, it is gastroenteritis, and oral antibiotics are required for treatment. Excessive stool frequency and high water content can be treated with oral Montmorillonite clay to protect the gastrointestinal mucosa and probiotics to regulate the intestinal flora. The most important thing for nausea and vomiting is to prevent dehydration or electrolyte imbalance.
