Question
A 7-year-old girl had a lot of snacks, including 4 jelly candies, after lunch yesterday. By 5 pm, she felt uncomfortable in her stomach and vomited everything she ate. She played outside for half a day and was given a bowl of white rice at 9 pm last night, but she vomited again in the middle of the night. When she woke up in the morning, she had a low fever of 37.8 degrees Celsius. She was given Huoxiang Zhengqi Gel and fever-reducing medicine, but she vomited again shortly afterward. What could be the cause, and what medication should be taken?
Answer
The baby might have contracted a gastrointestinal flu due to catching a cold or consuming unclean food. It’s recommended to drink plenty of warm water, eat light and easy-to-digest foods, avoid extremely cold, hard, and spicy foods, and pay attention to staying warm and keeping the abdomen warm.
