Question
If a child exhibits symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal distension, and fever, what diseases could it be, and how should it be treated?
Answer
Based on the child’s symptoms, an initial diagnosis may be pediatric acute nausea and vomiting. This condition often occurs with fewer than three bowel movements per day, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes purulent stools mixed with indigestible food. Fever may be due to viral or bacterial infection. It is recommended that the child get plenty of rest and avoid spicy, cold storage foods. If vomiting occurs, do not feed water or food temporarily to prevent exacerbation of vomiting frequency and dehydration. Appropriate amounts of digestive sugar salt solution can be given.
