Question
The child frequently vomits milk clumps and has diarrhea, up to 7 or 8 times a day. There is a stuffy nose but no discharge. I would like to understand the cause and how to treat it.
Answer
The baby’s symptoms of vomiting milk clumps, diarrhea, and a stuffy nose may be due to catching a cold. It is recommended to keep the baby warm, increase fluid intake, and monitor the situation. If the symptoms do not improve, consider giving antipyretic medication such as children’s paracetamol and chlorphenamine granules. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should pay attention to a light diet, keep the baby’s abdomen warm, and adopt a feeding method of small and frequent meals. Additionally, appropriate medication to adjust gastrointestinal function, such as probiotics, can be given. Wishing the baby a healthy growth.
