Doctor's answer:

Dear consultant,
According to your description, your baby may have acute digestive discomfort with nausea and vomiting or viral diarrhea. It is recommended that you closely monitor and observe whether your child is showing signs of dehydration. Feed your baby breast milk in small, frequent amounts and pay attention to providing warm water. You can also give your baby oral montmorillonite powder and other medications. If there are symptoms such as fever, mucopurulent bloody stools, or dehydration, it is better to go to the hospital for follow-up treatment.
