Question
What should I do if my child has diarrhea with dry heaves?
Answer
A child’s diarrhea accompanied by vomiting may be caused by acute gastroenteritis or gastrointestinal flu. It is recommended to first take the child to the hospital for a stool test to determine the cause. If it is acute gastroenteritis, in addition to taking Montmorillonite powder, cefaclor dry suspension can be used for treatment. If it is gastrointestinal flu, antiviral oral liquid and antiemetic combination drugs should be added. Wishing the child a speedy recovery!
