Question

A child experienced dry nausea and vomiting, along with chills, in the afternoon after eating sprouts for lunch. Past treatments and effects include not taking any medication. Seeking help: How should one handle the situation currently?

Answer

Considering it might be a collective symptom caused by food poisoning, it is recommended to immediately go to the emergency department for diagnosis, including gastric lavage and examination of gastric residuals, as well as serum toxin testing to determine the type of food poisoning and for in-hospital observation and treatment. These are suggestions for dealing with a child’s sudden onset of chills, dry nausea, and vomiting. I hope this helps; wishing you health!
