Patient's question:
I don't have a cold, and I've been eating normally. The child just mentioned in the evening that they had some stomach pain. Later, at 10 PM, they started dry heaving, and all the vomit was from what they had eaten during the day. No blood streaks, no coffee-ground color! After dry heaving twice more, we went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor suspected acute gastritis and prescribed an external medication for the navel, an oral herbal granule for protecting the spleen, and a honeysuckle essential oil liquid. After taking the medicine at home, they vomited again about half an hour later. Is this situation serious? How should it be resolved?Doctor's answer:
If it is acute gastritis, it is generally not a big problem and there is no need to worry too much. Timely intake of many anti-inflammatory drugs is required. Pay attention to dietary adjustments in daily life, avoid raw and cold foods, and drink more water for the baby. Additionally, patients need to maintain a regular schedule, take good care to prevent cold and keep warm, eat more light and soft foods in daily diet, ventilate frequently, and drink more hot water to ensure the condition does not recur.
