Question
How should one treat infant vomiting and diarrhea?
Answer
The child is 8 months old and has been experiencing frequent vomiting and diarrhea in recent days. The cause of these symptoms is unclear. How should one treat this condition? Hello, based on your description, the child has symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and a slightly elevated body temperature, which are indicative of pediatric diarrhea. It’s best to first conduct a routine stool test to clarify whether the cause is viral or bacterial infection. Since the child has been vomiting for a day, dehydration is likely to have occurred. It’s advisable to administer intravenous treatment to replenish fluids and electrolytes, and to choose appropriate antibiotic therapy.
