Question

My child suddenly vomited at night, three times in a row, and then vomited once the next day. They have no appetite. After eating soy milk and steamed buns in the morning, they vomited again. They haven’t seen a doctor yet and have only taken pediatric compound chicken gizzard powder to stop the vomiting, but their appetite has not recovered. Last night, my child said their abdomen was uncomfortable, and they vomited again this morning. How should I deal with this situation?

Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. Based on your description, your child’s vomiting and diarrhea symptoms are indeed indicative of possible indigestion, which may be caused by abdominal cold or weakness of the spleen and stomach. In such cases, it is recommended to give your child probiotics or attapulgite powder for treatment. At the same time, pay attention to keeping your child’s abdomen warm, and their diet should be light and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek medical attention for further diagnosis and treatment.
