What to Do When Babies Vomit and Diarrhea?

Question

What should be done when newborns experience vomiting and diarrhea?

Answer

Firstly, a stool test should be conducted to identify the cause, which may be indigestion, enteritis, or an intestinal disorder caused by a cold. For indigestion, you can try taking symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as Simethicone and MamiAi, and consider applying Dinggui’er umbilical cord plaster on the navel. If the symptoms do not improve, hospital intravenous treatment may be necessary. For enteritis, antibiotic treatment with drugs like Ampicillin may be required.
