Questions
Last night, an 8-month-old baby vomited twice suddenly, but continued to sleep peacefully afterward. This morning, the baby vomited after drinking water and milk, accompanied by diarrhea, producing a purulent, egg-like liquid stool. In the afternoon, the baby had one bowel movement, which was thicker. The parents fed the baby Platycodon grandiflorus, breast milk, and water (including apple water).
Answers
If a baby has more than 5 to 6 episodes of diarrhea and vomiting, it may be caused by enteritis. It is recommended to reduce the baby’s food intake to alleviate the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and to replenish fluids. Continue to observe the baby’s condition. If the parents also have diarrhea symptoms, consider taking probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal system.
