Question
A baby has been experiencing diarrhea and vomiting for three days and has not received any treatment. Symptoms include occasional dry heaves, dry heaves during eating, and stools that may contain blood or pus.
Answer
If a baby is suffering from diarrhea and vomiting, it may be caused by enteritis. It is recommended to conduct a stool test to determine the causative bacteria and to administer symptomatic treatment based on the test results. Additionally, further examinations for intestinal obstruction or other abdominal issues, such as duodenal obstruction, may be necessary. If necessary, antibiotic treatment may be required, along with further abdominal examinations.
