Question
Two days ago, the child started experiencing vomiting and diarrhea, with feces resembling egg white in texture and containing foam. At the same time, the child also had a fever. After a medical diagnosis, it was believed that the child had ingested contaminated food. The child received one day of intravenous treatment but saw no significant improvement.
Answer
Based on the description of the illness you provided, the child’s symptoms may be due to gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by dyspepsia. Diarrhea resembling egg white is usually associated with dyspepsia. It is recommended to give the child an adequate amount of water to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. At the same time, consider administering oral probiotics to regulate intestinal flora. If there is a fever, symptomatic treatment should be carried out and antibiotics may be used depending on the situation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to go to the hospital for further examination to ensure the child’s health.
