Question
I ate dinner late two days ago, and I vomited in the morning yesterday. Then I had stomach pain and diarrhea, couldn’t eat properly all day, and had no appetite. I had a slight fever of 37.4 last night. Today I’ve had diarrhea 3 or 4 times, all very loose, not much stomach pain, but it keeps rumbling. I haven’t eaten much over the past two days; I’ve just had porridge and cooked pears. I want to know if I should take medicine and what kind of medicine to take…
Answer
Disease Analysis: This could be due to acute gastroenteritis. First, maintain a reasonable diet, rest well, and keep the abdomen warm.
- For nausea and vomiting, use ondansetron or suprofen.
- For diarrhea, use simethicone or tannic acid protein.
- For fever, use aniracetam.
- For infection, use fluoroquinolones. Specific treatment should be followed according to the clinical physician’s instructions. Children are vulnerable to acute pediatric gastritis, so family members must take their child to the hospital for immediate medical treatment and avoid blind medication to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is important to timely monitor their child’s condition and do their best to help them receive timely treatment for their illness.
