Question
My baby is eight months old. Last night at 9:30 PM, he suddenly vomited. He also threw up some cold peanut milk he drank at 4:30 PM yesterday. The situation is still the same this morning. What’s going on? What should I do? Thank you!
Answer
If your baby is experiencing vomiting and persistent diarrhea, it could be due to indigestion, gastrointestinal dysfunction, or acute gastroenteritis. First and foremost, ensure you supplement with fluids to prevent dehydration. You can give probiotics and digestive aids to regulate the intestines. If your baby’s condition is poor, they are frequently vomiting, have reduced urine output, and cannot effectively take oral rehydration solutions, seek medical attention immediately, and consider intravenous fluid therapy if necessary. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your baby a healthy recovery.
