Question
My child has been feeling unwell recently, suffering from nausea and vomiting. I don’t have much understanding of this illness, and although I have medicine at home, I am hesitant to give it to my child without consulting a doctor, worried that it might cause harm. I feel very sorry for my child. How should children’s diarrhea be treated?
Answer
If a five-year-old child experiences nausea and vomiting again, it is important to identify the specific cause. If the nausea and vomiting are caused by poor digestion of certain foods, drinking some soup or giving the child a pediatric digestion aid like Weixing Yang’er Granules can be effective. These medications are all made from traditional Chinese medicine extracts and are unlikely to have significant side effects. They can help alleviate symptoms such as indigestion, dry heaves, abdominal pain, and nausea and vomiting.
