Question
A child has had diarrhea and vomiting for seven to eight days, and initially, there was also a cough. After the cough subsided, the diarrhea and vomiting began. Previous treatments, including medication and oral remedies, have not improved the condition. Now, I hope to receive some helpful suggestions on effective treatment methods or what shots to administer.
Answer
The child’s diarrhea and vomiting may be due to gastrointestinal discomfort caused by a fever. The fever leads to a disruption in the secretion of digestive enzymes and a decrease in absorption function, as well as severe gastrointestinal pain, causing abdominal pain and vomiting. You can give the child probiotic preparations to help establish normal flora in their gastrointestinal tract. For severe vomiting, you can extract a sufficient amount of fresh ginger juice and add a small amount of warm water to take with meals; this can effectively relieve vomiting. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you good health!
