Question
A one-year-old baby has been experiencing vomiting and diarrhea after eating a cold orange, along with loss of appetite. It’s now on the third day, the baby’s limbs are cold, and they are currently taking symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and anti-diarrheal medication. The condition has improved today, and the baby is drinking fluids adequately. Should the baby be taken to the hospital for intravenous fluid therapy?
Answer
Since the baby is still young, their gastrointestinal function is not fully developed, and improper feeding may cause discomfort. As the baby’s condition has improved, proper nourishment is all that is needed for recovery. There is no need to go to the hospital for intravenous fluid therapy. It’s important to maintain a balanced diet, eat in small portions, pay attention to food temperature, and avoid consuming irritating or cold foods. I hope these suggestions help you, and wish you health!
