Question
A child has been experiencing persistent vomiting and abdominal pain for over 10 hours, with the vomit being clear liquid and a lack of appetite. The child had a normal sleep the morning of the incident, no fever symptoms were present, and the parents are confused about the cause. The child had a desire for water in the middle of the night.
Answer
The child’s condition may be due to acute gastroenteritis, which could be related to recent unclean diet or abdominal cold. It is recommended to give the child medication such as rabeprazole and mosapride, which have good effects and are usually accompanied by significant improvement within 1 to 2 days after taking the medication. Please ensure food hygiene, improve dietary habits, and pay attention to abdominal warmth to avoid cold exposure.
