Question
A one-week-old girl is experiencing cough and vomiting symptoms. How should she be treated?
Answer
In this case, the child may be experiencing nausea and vomiting due to irritation in the throat. You can try giving her oral zinc gluconate solution and chicken gizzard powder, which should help improve the symptoms. It is recommended to consult a pediatrician or a pediatric general internist. Additionally, there are many causes of pediatric digestive diseases, and if diagnosed, parents need to cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression and maintaining good hygiene habits. The child should also have a balanced diet and avoid irritating foods.
