Question
The infant vomits both when drinking formula and water. Symptoms started three days ago, and yesterday, the hospital diagnosed it as dehydration and acidosis. Intravenous treatment has been administered, along with the intake of Simmered Four Herbs decoction and Live Bacteria Trifecta tablets. However, the infant still vomits three times today and shows poor spirits. What could be the matter?
Answer
Based on the parent’s description, the infant may be suffering from acute gastroenteritis, with symptoms including vomiting and lack of energy. Dehydration and acidosis may be caused by dehydration. It is recommended to continue with intravenous treatment, maintain adequate urine output, and take oral rehydration salts. Live bacteria medication should be taken with warm water separately, and at least one hour should be maintained between it and other medications. Continue with treatment and observation; if symptoms do not improve or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.
