Question

My baby is 7 months old. After sitting in the car for a whole day yesterday, she started vomiting in large amounts just after finishing her milk last night. What should I do?

Answer

The baby may be suffering from gastrointestinal fever due to gastrointestinal cold. You can first give the baby some warm water. If she doesn’t vomit, you can give her more. Then, offer some light and thin gruel. At the same time, apply a cold compress to the baby’s lower abdomen, pay attention to keeping warm, and avoid eating cold, sweet, and spicy foods. Also, temporarily do not feed eggs and foods that are difficult to digest. Monitor the baby’s condition closely. If severe dehydration occurs, you should go to the hospital for intravenous treatment. The doctor will need to inquire if the baby has a fever.
