Question
My one-year-old baby started vomiting on the first day of having an upset stomach. By the third day, they began to have diarrhea as well. By the third day, they started to drink milk without vomiting, but their spirits are very poor. They are always fussy and seem to have no energy. We went to the hospital for blood tests, and the results were not significant. The doctor prescribed attapulgite powder, a quadruple live bacteria tablet, and midday tea granules. There has been some improvement, but their spirits are still very poor. Please help me predict what might be going on. Thank you!
Answer
Given the current situation of your baby, it may be due to acute nausea and vomiting. Here are some suggestions for you to keep your baby well-hydrated by giving them warm water, ensure they stay warm, and can take oral rehydration salts and attapulgite powder and cefalexin tablets, and use a pediatric acupressure bandage on the belly button. This is advice for the situation of a one-year-old baby starting to vomit on the first day of having an upset stomach, and I hope it will be helpful for you. Wish you good health!
