Question
A 16-month-old baby drank a cup of yogurt while playing outdoors and then played for two hours before going home to sleep. Upon waking up, the baby vomited after drinking some soy milk and again after eating an egg. What could be the cause of this? What should be done? The baby has never received any treatment and we want to know how to handle it.
Answer
Based on the description, a 16-month-old baby experienced vomiting symptoms after playing outdoors. Firstly, it is important to consider the possibility of the baby having a cold, as a cold can easily lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, which in turn can cause vomiting. After vomiting, you can initially fast for 2 hours, and if vomiting stops, you can resume eating. If vomiting continues, you may consider giving appropriate medication. If the baby has symptoms such as a runny nose or cough, then antiviral medication should be used for treatment. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, then fever-reducing medication should be used for fever treatment.
