Question
The child is 18 months old and had a cough and fever a few days ago. After a week of IV treatment, they started vomiting and diarrhea. They throw up when eating or drinking. How long will these symptoms last?
Answer
This situation may be due to a decrease in gastrointestinal absorption function caused by an upper respiratory infection. While treating the upper respiratory infection, consider giving the child probiotics or other medications to adjust the intestinal flora. We anticipate that the symptoms will gradually improve with appropriate treatment.
