Question
A seven-month-old baby, who has stopped having a fever after treating enteritis, has started to vomit frequently. The baby vomits shortly after eating and is irritable. The question is about the cause and feeding suggestions.
Answer
It is recommended to continue treatment, which may include the use of antibiotics to treat bacterial enteritis, but it must be followed under a doctor’s instructions and adjusted according to the drug’s resistance. In cases of severe dehydration, intravenous drips should be used to replenish fluids, electrolytes, and glucose to avoid complications and mortality caused by dehydration. After the condition improves, gradually resume eating, starting with light rice porridge or diluted skim milk, and supplement vitamins. For children with allergic diarrhea or those requiring special dietary treatment, consult a doctor. Although baby diarrhea may seem common, if not treated promptly, it can also lead to serious consequences. Therefore, it is important to seek professional medical advice and avoid self-medication. For vomiting symptoms, consider using medications such as Stomach Comfort to alleviate them.
