Question
The baby’s stool was initially like urine, with two occurrences, then it turned yellow. On the morning of March 16th at 4 am, the baby had a bowel movement and also vomited a little. At 12 pm, they had another bowel movement. No allergies. Is this condition urgent?
Answer
The most common cause of dry heaves, nausea, and vomiting is infection, and it’s necessary to check urine for bacteria, viruses, or mycoplasma infection. Also, examine the stool to see if there is enteritis, and use symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the results of the urine and stool tests. If there are symptoms of dry heaves and lack of energy, be aware of possible conditions such as myocarditis or appendicitis. Probiotics can be taken to adjust the intestinal flora and treat diarrhea. For severe dry heaves, go to the hospital for intravenous administration of antiemetic drugs. Also, be mindful of dehydration symptoms and seek immediate intravenous fluid replacement treatment at the hospital. Pay attention to a diet of light, soft, and easily digestible foods. Avoid eating spoiled food.
