Question
This morning after waking up, the baby vomited suddenly while playing, and the vomit was not visibly clotted, resembling porridge. Normally, the baby is breastfed, but last night they had a little shrimp, and in the past two days, the baby has had diarrhea. Although it improved a lot yesterday, this morning the stool was still not well-formed, and there was also some abdominal diarrhea. Without treatment, do you need medication? How should it be treated?
Answer
According to your description, the baby may have acute gastroenteritis, possibly caused by exposure to cold or unclean food. It is recommended to give the baby some medication such as Montmorillonite Powder and Simmered Four Herbs Decoction, and combine it with dietary therapy, reducing milk intake, and switching to millet congee. Only drink the soup without eating the millet. During this period, avoid spicy, greasy, cold, and irritating foods. Wishing the baby a quick recovery.
