Question
The seven-month-old baby is vomiting when drinking water as well. Local hospital diagnosis indicated incomplete intestinal obstruction, and it was suggested to refrain from eating after enema and fluid infusion. The baby cried and fussed all night, and after a detailed examination at the municipal hospital and an X-ray, it was diagnosed as normal with no intestinal obstruction, some gas present, and it was recommended to massage the abdomen to help expel it. After returning home, the baby experienced diarrhea and urination after taking medication, and stopped urinating and having diarrhea upon discontinuing the medication.
Answer
The baby has undergone an X-ray examination, ruling out the possibility of intestinal obstruction. The symptoms described are believed to be due to dyspepsia. It is recommended to continue intravenous fluid administration to maintain fluid volume while breastfeeding, and to appropriately use antibiotics, vitamins, and digestive electrolytes. Once the baby’s condition stabilizes and there is no vomiting or nausea, the intravenous fluid administration can be stopped. These are the suggestions for the question “How should a seven-month-old baby who is vomiting and drinking water be treated?” I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you, and wish the baby a speedy recovery.
