Question
A 1-year-old girl has been doing well over the past week, but since yesterday morning, she has started vomiting and has a fever. The vomiting has been ongoing for two days and is accompanied by diarrhea. She has already undergone an ultrasound examination with normal results. She has taken medication and received injections, but she has been feeling tired and has lost her appetite recently. How can help be sought?
Answer
Hello, are there any other symptoms? Vomiting is often a sign of infection, and a urine test is needed to determine if it’s caused by bacteria, viruses, or mycoplasma infections, and medication should be prescribed accordingly. Vomiting and lack of energy may also indicate the presence of myocarditis or appendicitis. Probiotics can be taken to adjust the intestinal flora, and treatment for vomiting can be administered. In case of severe vomiting, immediately seek medical attention for intravenous antiemetic injections. Additionally, if dehydration symptoms arise, immediate intravenous fluid replacement should be provided. For meals, choose light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
