Question
My child is now over 8 months old and has been experiencing nausea and vomiting for the past few days. The stool is green with stringy material. After three days of treatment, there was no bowel movement, but on the fourth day, the stool returned to normal. However, on the fifth day, nausea and vomiting recurred, with yellow stool and mucus resembling snot. Is this dysentery? What medication should I give my child? Please diagnose, thank you.
Answer
Considering the symptoms may be due to catching a cold or indigestion, it is recommended to use medication under a doctor’s guidance. You can administer Montmorillonite powder, Bifidobacterium infantis granules, Children’s Invigorating Spleen Powder, and Chicken Gizzard Powder for treatment, and ensure the child drinks plenty of water. If the child is breastfed, the mother’s diet should be light and avoid cold and irritating foods.
