Question
Did the child’s vomiting and diarrhea at 8 PM indicate poisoning?
Answer
The child’s symptoms may be due to acute gastroenteritis caused by viral infection or indigestion. It is recommended for parents to administer oral medication, such as attapulgite powder, to absorb intestinal toxins and reduce diarrhea. If oral treatment is ineffective, consider intravenous fluid therapy to correct electrolyte imbalance and fluid loss. If the child is diagnosed with a gastrointestinal disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for treatment, including gastrointestinal depressants and dietary improvements. Parents should also pay attention to avoid the child’s picky eating or preference for certain foods, and ensure a balanced diet.
