Question
The 3.5-year-old baby had stomach pain at 5 AM, diarrhea, and vomited up nothing, even water, without a fever. He had a complex diet yesterday, including lychees, grapes, fish soup, and fruit. He might have felt a bit cold during his afternoon nap, and he often gets food stuck in his stomach half a year ago.
Answer
Based on the baby’s symptoms, it is suspected that acute gastritis might be the cause. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up consultation, determine the cause of the illness, and then proceed with treatment. Avoid spicy and stimulating food (irritating food), drink plenty of water, rest well, and closely observe the baby. This may be related to irregular diet and exposure to cold factors, which can be treated with probiotic granules and attapulgite powder.
