Question
My child, who is one and a half years old, accidentally ate shell-covered peppercorns and vomited twice at night. The vomit came out, but now the child is still dry heaving, and their hands and feet are quite warm! What’s going on?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby’s symptoms of dry vomiting and feverish hands and feet are likely due to gastroenteritis. It is recommended to give the baby a light, easy-to-digest diet, avoid cold, spicy, and irritating foods, measure the baby’s body temperature, and ensure the baby drinks plenty of water. You can give the baby Domperidone oral solution. If the symptoms do not improve, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly.
