Question
Does vomiting and diarrhea in children after eating egg-based foods indicate a food allergy?
Answer
Vomiting and diarrhea in children following the consumption of eggs could be due to foodborne gastroenteritis resulting from contaminated food. To treat this condition, it is important to maintain warmth and ensure the child drinks plenty of water to prevent dehydration. If medication is possible, consider using Vitamin B6, Shifuzi (which may be a traditional Chinese medicine), and Simeticon (which may be an antidiarrheal medication) for symptomatic treatment. Additionally, it is necessary to avoid feeding the child irritating or cold foods. For infants diagnosed with gastroenteritis, parents should cooperate with the doctor for active treatment and maintain good hygiene habits.
