Question
My child has diarrhea, but I’m afraid to give them medicine since they are young. What could be the cause, and how should we handle their vomiting symptoms?
Answer
Infant vomiting may be caused by intestinal bacterial infection. After the intestinal mucosa is affected by toxins, it leads to a decrease in peristalsis, thereby increasing the frequency of diarrhea. Oral anti-inflammatory medications can be taken for treatment, while also paying attention to observe for signs of dehydration, such as reduced urine output. If necessary, medical consultation and re-examination should be sought.
