Question
My child has been coughing for about four days, and started to have some vomiting yesterday. Today, there’s also a bit of diarrhea. What could this be? They had a fever once before, were given intravenous fluids, and also had some coughing, vomiting, and diarrhea. What should I do now? What medication should I give them? What precautions should I take? Thank you!
Answer
Hello, your child’s symptoms may be caused by gastroenteritis, which usually includes symptoms like coughing, expectoration, and vomiting. Based on your description, your child is experiencing coughing, vomiting, and diarrhea. I suggest giving them Protin, Simethicone, and Amoxicillin granules, and pay attention to any changes in their condition. Make sure they drink plenty of water and adjust their diet. If the symptoms persist, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly.
