What should I do if my child has diarrhea and vomiting?

Patient's question:

My baby is four years old. Today, he has experienced nausea, vomiting, and dry coughing about 3.4 times, with stomach pain. He hasn't had a fever. He also has a slight cough.
Previous treatment and effectiveness:
Medicine was given, but he vomited right after.
? Hello, should he take medicine? What kind of medicine should he take?

Doctor's answer:

As you described, it can be considered that the child may have acute gastroenteritis. It is recommended to conduct a detailed and thorough examination, actively treat the condition, and first provide appropriate food intake, enhance nursing care, pay attention to preventing abdominal cold and dampness, and strengthen nutrition and vitamin digestion. Symptomatic treatment should also be supplemented, such as using Montmorillonite powder for nausea and vomiting, and using 6542 for abdominal pain and bowel sounds. If accompanied by indigestion and abdominal pain, Lactobacillus and pancreatin can be used. In severe cases, intravenous fluid should be administered. Specific treatment should follow the guidance of clinical diagnosis physicians. The above information is for reference.
