Question
What should I do if my 11-month-old baby is vomiting and has diarrhea? I’ve taken him to the hospital, had him injected, and taken medication, but there’s no improvement. It’s been three days now, please help!
Answer
It’s best to have your child checked by a hospital in this situation. The child has acute gastroenteritis, possibly due to autumnal diarrhea. It’s recommended to add antiviral medication to the medication you mentioned. Since the child is vomiting severely, it’s suggested to temporarily withhold food for four to six hours, including medication, to allow the stomach to rest and recover. However, if the child is extremely thirsty, you can give small amounts of red sugar water several times to replenish energy and soothe the stomach.
