Question
Two days ago, the child has been vomiting after eating and drinking, accompanied by abdominal pain. The body temperature ranges from 37.7 to 38.1 degrees Celsius. Medical treatment and intravenous fluid therapy were administered for two days, although the body temperature dropped to 37.7 degrees, the abdominal pain persists. I hope to get some help. Are there any medications that can help with the treatment?
Answer
Hello, based on the symptoms you described for your child, you can administer Montmorillonite powder and Bifidobacterium. Additionally, it is recommended to conduct a regular stool examination. If the symptoms are due to catching a cold, you can use Dinggui Er Dabao. In terms of diet, it is advisable to choose light and easily digestible foods such as millet congee and thin noodles, adopting a small and frequent meal pattern, and drinking plenty of warm water. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral ibuprofen can be taken to reduce fever. To avoid gastrointestinal fermentation and bloating during the acute phase, avoid eating gas-producing foods such as beef, and try to reduce the intake of sucrose. Furthermore, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene. Avoid consuming high-fat fried, smoked, salted fish meat, as well as foods and seasonings rich in fiber.
