Question
A 14-month-old baby developed a fever on the first day and started showing a lack of appetite by the third day. After taking medication in the afternoon of the third day, the baby vomited. Yesterday, the baby went to the hospital and received ointment and medication for indigestion, resulting in diarrhea after taking the medicine. There was also diarrhea today, and it seemed like all undigested food in the stomach was being expelled. The baby ate something this morning but has been wanting to take a nap, refusing to eat and feeling uncomfortable in the stomach. Is this because he doesn’t have the strength, always needing to be held?
Answer
Based on the situation you described, a one-year-old baby experiencing fever followed by vomiting suggests a possible gastrointestinal flu. It is recommended to use pediatric gastrointestinal health granules and domperidone suspension. If the fever continues, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be taken. Additionally, ensure adequate rest and avoid catching a cold.
