Question

My baby is 8 days old and threw up a lot at 5 PM. Later, they threw up three or four more times, just a little water, very little. At 3 AM, I noticed they had a fever of 38.3 degrees.

Answer

Based on your description, your baby’s throwing up and fever are likely due to a stomach disorder caused by a cold, and medication treatment is necessary. It’s recommended to give your child plenty of water, and you can administer some cold medicine and absorbent medicine for nourishment and treatment, along with fever-reducing medication to suppress the progression of the illness. For example, antiviral granules and Huoxiang Zhengqi Granules, plus Baohuo Granules or Compound Chicken Gizzard Powder. Keep checking their temperature regularly and carefully observe their condition. Prevent them from catching a cold again.
