Question
My child started experiencing vomiting and diarrhea after switching to a new formula milk. After taking some medicine for dry heaves, the vomiting has stopped, but they are still feeling nausea and vomiting. What should I do for an infant with diarrhea? If the diarrhea is severe, how should I administer the anti-diarrheal medicine? What is the dosage in grams?
Answer
Based on the description provided, it seems that the child’s nausea and vomiting might be due to indigestion after switching to the new formula milk. Severe nausea and vomiting require effective anti-diarrheal medication. You can use montmorillonite powder to treat nausea and vomiting. The specific medication should be used as directed on the instructions. If the nausea and vomiting are severe, it may be necessary to visit a hospital for intravenous correction of electrolyte imbalance. In addition, you should stop using the current formula milk and avoid it further.
