Question
A two and a half-year-old child suddenly vomited at night and had diarrhea in the morning. What could be the cause?
Answer
Based on your description, the sudden vomiting and diarrhea in the child may be symptoms of acute gastroenteritis. You can give the child Montmorillonite powder, Simmomatic Decoction, and Vitamin B6. It is currently advisable to fast and adopt dietary therapy, such as cooking millet congee, drinking only the top broth (salt or sugar can be added), and avoiding the consumption of the millet itself. This method is both beneficial and can help soothe the gastrointestinal tract. These measures may help alleviate symptoms.
