Question
What should I do when my 11-month-old baby is vomiting and has diarrhea?
Answer
It’s best to go to the hospital for a check-up in this situation. The child appears to have acute gastroenteritis, possibly due to autumn diarrhea. It is recommended to add antiviral medication in addition to the medication you mentioned. Since the child is vomiting severely, it is suggested to temporarily fast for 4 to 6 hours, excluding medication, to allow the stomach to rest and facilitate recovery. However, if the baby is extremely thirsty, provide small amounts of brown sugar water multiple times, which can replenish energy while also protecting the stomach.
