Question
My child is over two weeks old, and I took them to the hospital today for a check-up. The doctor suggested giving the child plenty of water and porridge, but the child throws up whatever they eat and can’t keep anything down. I’m extremely worried. After a week, the condition hasn’t improved, and the child has lost a lot of weight.
Answer
Hello, it is recommended to first treat the inflammation and pain; then control the condition; and pay attention to diet. Encourage the child to eat more coarse fiber foods, which are easier to digest, and adjust their diet gradually. Since the child is affected by pediatric acute gastritis, it is crucial for mothers to take their children to the hospital for immediate medical treatment. Avoid using over-the-counter medications blindly and use medication reasonably. For parents, it is important to provide enough care and attention to their children and do everything possible to help them receive timely treatment for their illness.
