Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, and has normal appetite. There are no significant abnormalities, but sometimes the baby will tremble. What is the situation when a 4-year-old child vomits excessive saliva?
Answer
Vomiting excessive saliva in a 4-year-old child may be caused by gastritis, and treatment should include oral medications such as amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium, omeprazole, and cisapride. It is important to avoid spicy, alcoholic, cold, and greasy foods that can be irritating. Regular meal times should be maintained. If the condition does not improve, it is recommended to consult a hospital for a gastroscopy and ultrasound examination.
