Question
My 1.5-year-old baby started having diarrhea and vomiting around 1 a.m. last night. Is this a sign of illness?
Answer
This situation may include infantile diarrhea and vomiting, which is usually caused by improper diet or abdominal cold, leading to a disorder in gastrointestinal digestion. If the vomiting symptoms are severe, it is recommended to temporarily fast for 12 to 24 hours. After complete recovery, the diet should primarily consist of milk, with complementary foods gradually introduced, focusing on light and easy-to-digest foods to reduce gastrointestinal pressure and aid recovery. Taking probiotics and montmorillonite powder (montmorillonite powder) may also be beneficial.
