Question
The child vomits immediately after eating, and the diarrhea contains water and milk components. Medication has not improved the condition. How should it be handled?
Answer
Vomiting accompanied by diarrhea in young children is a common digestive system disease, usually caused by various pathogens and factors. Symptoms include, but are not limited to, increased frequency of bowel movements and changes in nature, fever, dry heaving, and abdominal pain, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of water, electrolyte, and acid-base imbalances. Gentamicin sulfate has ototoxicity and is not recommended for infants and young children, especially when vomiting symptoms are severe. If vomiting is frequent, it is advisable to seek treatment at a regular hospital. If the symptoms are not severe, you can initially observe the situation and take protective measures. It is recommended to stop unnecessary eating, feed milk on time in fixed quantities, and consider taking lactobacillus tablets and attapulgite powder to promote digestion and absorption.
