Question
The baby vomited after drinking milk on the evening of the 4th. During the late night, the baby vomited three times consecutively. On the morning of the 5th, the baby vomited several times and had one episode of diarrhea. The test and examination results were negative. How should it be treated?
Answer
The child is currently experiencing vomiting and diarrhea, which are symptoms of acute gastroenteritis. Immediate medication treatment is required. The diet should be light, with plenty of water, and attention should be paid to abdominal warmth. Cephalosporin anti-inflammatory treatment can be used, and in severe cases, intravenous fluid administration may be necessary. Symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as bifidobacterium lactis triple viable tablet and Shen Ling Bai Zhu powder can be taken, along with adequate hydration. Improvement is generally expected within one week. Precautions regarding diet and feeding should be observed.
