Question
The baby vomited dryly at midnight on the 8th and had a slight case of diarrhea. By the 10th, it was much better. On the 11th, the baby felt extremely weak, vomiting again. By the 12th, it was somewhat better with no diarrhea or vomiting. However, on the 13th morning, it was bad again, only wanting to sleep during the day and vomiting. Since the 8th, the baby has only been able to eat a quarter of formula milk and porridge, one day good and one day bad, and also taking probiotics. Various medications for nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and antiemetics have been taken. What should be done? We’ve visited all possible hospitals and they’ve all examined the baby, ruling out intussusception. The doctors have only said to take medicine and pay attention to diet. For many days now, the child still looks exhausted and lacks energy, constantly complaining of dry heaves.
Answer
This situation in the baby may be caused by acute gastroenteritis leading to nausea, dry heaves, and vomiting. It is suggested to take some montmorillonite powder and intestinal health granules as well as probiotics or chicken gizzard powder for treatment. It is important to drink plenty of water.
