Question
My child is 8 months old, and they started vomiting last night and had diarrhea. They also vomited this morning. I don’t know what the cause is. They’ve only had one episode of diarrhea. Could you please advise on how to handle this situation?
Answer
Diarrhea in children is a common issue, especially during winter, and is usually caused by viral infections. Additionally, exposure to cold at night might also be a contributing factor. Parents should closely monitor their child’s symptoms, and if the symptoms persist, they should seek medical attention immediately without self-medicating. At the same time, it’s important to protect the baby’s bottom to avoid catching a cold, which can also lead to vomiting.
