Question
After a week of intravenous treatment for pneumonia, the diarrhea has improved after stopping the needles. Yesterday, the child seemed to be holding out and then started vomiting and diarrhea as if the milk eaten had not been digested and was vomited out, with a very sour taste. Don’t know if it’s due to the cold stimulation from the IV or from overeating. What should I do in this situation?
Answer
Has the child’s pneumonia recovered, and do you know what kind of medication was used for the IV? Some medications can cause gastrointestinal reactions, but these usually disappear after stopping the medication. The child’s current symptoms may be due to catching a cold. Don’t rush to take medicine; abdominal warming is effective, and fluids should be consumed. Avoid fruits and cold foods; that’s recommended. Keep a close eye on the situation, abdominal warming is sufficient, don’t worry, and wish your baby a healthy growth.
