Question
The 3-year-old did not eat last night and vomited all day and night. Accompanied by a fever of 39 degrees, there is no appetite and the belly is bloated. What could be the cause? The child went to the hospital for an injection, ate Amoxicillin at noon, and took Children’s Paracetamol Yellow Powder. I want to know the cause.
Answer
This condition may be due to improper diet or catching a cold, resulting in acute gastroenteritis, with belly swelling as a symptom of indigestion. You can use traditional Chinese medicine Huoxiang Zhengqi pills, and if necessary, take antiemetic medication. In cases where the child cannot eat, consider intramuscular injections of antiemetic medication. It is advisable to reduce food intake appropriately, pay attention to fluid intake, and take oral rehydration salts when not vomiting. I hope my explanation is helpful, and wish for a speedy recovery.
