Question
My child is 21 months old. They went to bed early last night and threw up everything they ate this morning. We ended up going to the hospital, and the doctor said it was nausea, also known as cold dampness, and it’s not a big deal. They were given an intravenous saline solution, and now they are playing. The doctor said they can eat congee but cannot drink milk. I would like to ask if this condition is due to wearing too many or too few clothes, and how long should such dietary restrictions last? Can fruits be eaten as well?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby may have developed dyspepsia and vomiting due to improper diet or catching a cold. It is recommended to use Dinggui infant navel sticker to warm the abdomen and feet of the baby, and to take oral medications such as Jinejin, Yigan San, and probiotics for treatment. Avoid feeding the baby hard or cold foods and opt for soft, easily digestible foods. Additionally, maintain a regular diet for the baby, avoiding overfeeding or going hungry. Whether fruits can be eaten should be consulted with a doctor’s advice; they are usually suitable for consumption in moderate amounts during the recovery period.
