Question

A four-year-old child today is experiencing diarrhea and vomiting, with episodes occurring three to four times, accompanied by abdominal pain, but without fever, and only a slight cough. Previous medication attempts have resulted in vomiting. Should injection treatment be considered, and what medications should be used?

Answer

Based on the described symptoms, the child may be suffering from acute enteritis. It is recommended to ensure proper nutrition, strengthen care, keep the abdomen warm, avoid cold and dampness, and increase the intake of nutrients and vitamins. For symptomatic treatment, for diarrhea, it can apply Montmorillonite powder; for abdominal pain and bowel sounds, consider using 654-2 and other medications. If accompanied by indigestion or bloating, lactase or pancreatic enzyme powder can be administered. In severe cases, intravenous fluid replacement should be considered. The specific treatment plan should follow the guidance of a clinical physician. The above suggestions are for reference only.
