Question
After waking up at 5 AM with abdominal pain and a slight fever, along with vomiting of food and water, what could be the cause and how should it be handled?
Answer
It is advisable to check a stool sample to confirm whether the cause is indigestion or enteritis. Pay attention to whether the intestinal problems are caused by a cold. If it is due to indigestion, it is recommended to take oral Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid, Montmorillonite Powder, and other medications. If the condition is severe, seek medical assistance and consider intravenous treatment. Extend the interval between feedings to allow the gastrointestinal tract to rest, and increase fluid intake. If complementary foods have been introduced, temporarily stop or reduce the addition, and resume after the condition improves, especially avoiding difficult-to-digest foods.
