Question
A 22-month-old child has recently been experiencing persistent vomiting and abdominal pain. Even drinking plain water causes vomiting, and there are symptoms of indigestion. After consuming green vegetables and red dates, diarrhea occurs. The child has already undergone intravenous drip treatment, but the abdominal pain still persists last night. What could be the cause of these symptoms? How should it be treated? What should be noted in daily care?
Answer
Children’s growth requires a variety of nutrients, including proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and fiber. Grains are the basic source of nutrition, while meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, vegetables, and fruits are also essential for the body. Therefore, parents need to provide their children with a diverse diet to avoid monotonous food.
