Question
My two-year-old child has diarrhea after eating, but not when not eating. They also have a fever. The fever is relieved with a fever-reducing shot, but they still throw up whatever they eat. It’s been three days, and I don’t know what to do.
Answer
The child may be experiencing nausea and vomiting due to dyspepsia. When the child has a fever, physical methods of temperature reduction should be used, and antipyretics should only be taken when the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees. It is suggested to give the child probiotics and montmorillonite powder, and ensure that they drink plenty of water as nausea and vomiting can easily lead to dehydration. It is important not to have a selective diet, try to maintain regular bowel movements, and if the condition recurs, consider using pediatric tonifying the spleen powder, pediatric stomach and digestion tablets, and gastrointestinal motility-enhancing drugs. Additionally, zinc gluconate and multivitamin tablets can be supplemented.
