Question
A newborn is experiencing vomiting and diarrhea, with green stools, along with mild cold symptoms, and is currently taking cold medicine. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
The child may be suffering from digestive abnormalities due to abdominal cold, leading to the symptoms of vomiting and green stools. Medication can be administered, and the feeding amount should be reduced. It is recommended to take oral Vitamin B6, attapulgite powder, and infant powder for treatment. If there is a suspicion of indigestion or intestinal inflammation, a regular stool examination and rotavirus, adenovirus testing should be conducted to determine the cause. Dietarily, reduce dairy intake and switch to porridge and rice noodles as the main food, and pair them with probiotics and digestive aids. If intestinal inflammation is present, antibiotic treatment should be added.
