Question
Two nights ago, the baby vomited during dinner and then developed watery diarrhea, accompanied by an odor of rotten eggs, decreased urine output, and a poor mood. After hospital treatment, including intravenous drips, it has been two days, but the baby still refuses to eat, even porridge or anti-diarrheal milk. Moreover, the baby has frequent diarrhea issues. Parents are inquiring about how to handle the situation now.
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s condition may be due to indigestion, possibly caused by catching a cold, irregular diet, or overeating leading to excessive intestinal burden. Symptoms may include varying degrees of abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, increased bowel sounds, and acid-smelling feces. It is recommended to take active treatment and preventive measures. Firstly, parents should ensure the baby is well-warmed and protected from colds, maintain a light and moderate diet, consume easily digestible foods, adhere to dietary routines, and eat small meals more frequently. Medication-wise, oral children’s stomachic and digestive tablets as well as Lactobacillus sporogenes probiotic capsules can be administered for treatment. Additionally, increasing the baby’s physical activity and sunlight exposure can also help improve the situation. I hope my answer is helpful.
