Question
My child started vomiting and having diarrhea the morning before yesterday, and has been experiencing diarrhea continuously since yesterday morning. They also have dry heaves. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
It is recommended to first conduct a routine stool test and occult blood test to rule out bacterial infection. If the diarrhea is caused by a viral infection, you can take oral Montmorillonite powder and Mommy Love to help stop diarrhea and regulate the intestinal flora. At the same time, make sure to replenish fluids, especially salty soup, to prevent dehydration. If the dry heaves are severe, it is advisable to receive intravenous fluid replacement. Parents with patients at home should pay attention to proper nursing care.
