Question

My 14-month-old baby vomited three times last night, and it was mostly water. Now, they have also started to have diarrhea, with two episodes so far, and the last one was also water. The body temperature is a bit high…about 38 degrees…What should I do?

Answer

This situation could be indicative of acute gastroenteritis. It is advisable to visit the hospital for a routine stool and blood test before considering further medication. Based on your description, many medications that adjust the intestinal flora can be used for treatment, and it is also necessary to have a thorough examination and treatment at the hospital.
