Question
The baby has been experiencing persistent vomiting, diagnosed as gastroenteritis, including dry heaves, two days without defecation, and a lack of energy. On the evening of January 27, 2010, at around 11:30 PM, the baby began vomiting undigested food, a total of three times. At 11:50 PM on the 27th, the baby was taken to the hospital for consultation.
Answer
The main symptoms of gastroenteritis, in addition to the common symptoms such as a stuffy nose, runny nose, and coughing, also include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, as well as fever. However, according to the description, there is no mention of fever symptoms, so it cannot be completely ruled out that it is pediatric enteritis. If there are indeed fever symptoms, then it can be confirmed as gastroenteritis with fever.
- Over the past two days, give the child plenty of water and easy-to-digest food.
