Question
Since the baby was four and a half months old, dry vomiting appeared for the first time. It has been intermittent for a month, more frequent during breastfeeding breaks, with no vomiting, no significant change in appetite, no redness or swelling in the throat, and a tendency to sweat easily. The stool has been loose since birth, occurring 4-5 times a day. What could be the cause of the dry vomiting? Does such diarrhea require treatment? Thank you.
Answer
Based on the information you provided, the baby’s vomiting accompanied by diarrhea is likely due to gastrointestinal flu or acute gastroenteritis. It is recommended that parents pay attention to giving the baby adequate hydration to prevent excessive vomiting and diarrhea leading to dehydration. At the same time, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital for an immediate medical consultation. If necessary, a routine stool examination should be conducted. Then, according to the doctor’s diagnosis, use drugs sensitive to the pathogen in combination with infantJianpi San (Yi Pian San) and Bifidobacterium Triple Live Yeast Capsules for oral administration to improve symptoms. In cases where necessary, energy solution fluid replacement therapy can be performed.
