Symptom Description: Started vomiting around 1 am, followed by diarrhea resembling water from a small pipe. Previous Treatment and Effectiveness: No treatment. The baby refuses to take medicine. Desired Assistance: What medication is effective, or if the baby won’t take medicine, what are some tasty alternatives?
Answer
The baby’s condition is considered to be caused by gastroenteritis, which is often due to the consumption of spicy and cold foods, catching a cold, eating unclean cold and raw foods, and overeating. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. The baby’s diarrhea is severe and requires active treatment. It is suggested to give the baby appropriate sugar and salt water to replenish fluids, while also ensuring the baby’s warmth and dietary adjustments. Dress the baby according to weather changes, eat easily digestible liquid foods, eat small meals more frequently, avoid eating cold and unclean foods, spicy foods, and overly greasy foods.
