Question
A 7-month-old baby has been experiencing more severe vomiting in the past few weeks. Starting yesterday, the baby has had a runny nose, fever, and mild cough. Today, the vomiting was particularly severe, with almost everything the baby ate coming back up.
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, the baby may have gastroenteritis, which could be caused by catching a cold and leading to fever and dry heaves. If dry heaves are very severe, it is advisable to seek immediate medical attention. It is suggested to give the baby Nuancha Tea Granules and Amoxicillin Granules. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, a fever-reducing medicine should also be taken. Please closely monitor the baby’s symptoms, and if there is no improvement after taking medication, it is important to go to the hospital immediately.
