Question
My child has been suffering from nausea and vomiting since this morning, and the doctor has diagnosed it as pediatric gastroenteritis. Which medications should I give my child to relieve the symptoms?
Answer
Nausea and vomiting in children may be caused by bacterial infections, viral infections, or allergies. If suspected to be caused by bacterial enteritis, oral antibiotics are required. At the same time, you can give your child attapulgite powder to protect the gastrointestinal mucosa, and use probiotics to adjust the intestinal flora. Additionally, it is important to prevent dehydration or electrolyte imbalance due to frequent vomiting.
