Question
The child has had diarrhea for two days, with watery stools, vomiting, and not eating. What should I do?
Answer
This could be due to a gastrointestinal disorder caused by a cold, possibly related to exposure to cold. It is recommended to undergo intravenous fluid therapy and use intravenous administration of Vitamin B6 to alleviate vomiting, as oral medications are more likely to cause vomiting, especially those with a strong reaction in the gastrointestinal tract. After the condition improves and vomiting stops, medication can then be taken orally. It is advised to avoid eating greasy or extremely cold foods that are hard to digest. Porridge is the most suitable option. Keep the diet light and drink plenty of water to aid digestion. Don’t eat too much and give the stomach a rest.
