Question
What could be the cause of a one-and-a-half-year-old child vomiting, having diarrhea, and fever?
Answer
Based on past treatment experiences and outcomes, the child has received intravenous therapy, ceftriaxone, and paracetamol for children. The suggestion is that it might be gastroenteritis, usually caused by catching a cold, consuming unclean cold foods, or indigestion. Symptoms include fever, nausea, and vomiting. It is recommended to administer stomach-soothing tablets and Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid orally, drink plenty of water, use children’s antipyretic medicine such as Xia Anrui, and maintain a diet of light and easily digestible foods. Avoid cold and irritating foods, eat in small portions more frequently, keep warm, and prevent catching a cold. Hope these suggestions are helpful to you.
