Question
A seven-year-old child experienced vomiting and diarrhea during the Mid-Autumn Festival. After two days of treatment, the symptoms improved, but they recurred the next day. The child now refuses to eat or drink and is weak. What should be done?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have gastritis. It is recommended to treat the condition with a combination of lansoprazole, pectin bismuth, and amoxicillin. In future meals, it is advised to consume more vegetables and fruits, avoid greasy foods, drink plenty of water, and chewing gum may help alleviate symptoms. Family members should take the child to the doctor promptly, avoid self-administering over-the-counter medications, and closely monitor the child’s condition to ensure timely appropriate treatment.
