Question
Last night, my baby had a fever, diarrhea, and vomiting. Now, their stomach still hurts. What should I do?
Answer
Fever, diarrhea, and vomiting in babies can be caused by various gastrointestinal syndromes, with typical symptoms including fever, runny nose, cough, vomiting, and abdominal pain. This is usually due to dietary factors or extraintestinal infections. Prolonged vomiting can lead to malnutrition and fluid loss, so it’s important to stop the diarrhea and replenish fluids promptly. It is recommended to keep the baby warm and administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as pediatric diarrhea stop granules. These granules can inhibit bacteria, clear heat, dry dampness, firm the intestines to stop diarrhea, adjust intestinal motility and immunity, eliminate free radicals, and absorb intestinal toxins.
