Question

My baby is 6 months old and has been having diarrhea for half a month now. What should I do?

Answer

If a child experiences persistent nausea and vomiting, it may be due to viral enteritis, primarily caused by rotavirus infection. Symptoms can vary in severity, with severe nausea and vomiting leading to dehydration, and some cases may develop viral pneumonia. Advice: Hello, in this situation, it is recommended to drink plenty of warm water, avoid cold foods, and refrain from consuming overly sweet foods. You can take ribavirin granules, Baizhu Oral Liquid, and Simethicone. In case of severe dehydration, intravenous fluid therapy may be necessary. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
