Question
Since this morning, my daughter (who is three months and one year old) has been suffering from continuous vomiting. No matter what she eats, she throws it up after a while until her stomach is empty. Starting from the afternoon, she has also been experiencing diarrhea. Doctor, what could be the cause of this? She hasn’t been eating anything irregularly, and her eating habits have always been poor. How could she have developed continuous vomiting like this?
Answer
Hello, the first consideration for your child’s condition is acute gastroenteritis. This often occurs due to improper diet, overeating; or consuming uncooked, spoiled, or contaminated food. She should rest in bed and be provided with fluid diet for the first 24 hours, drinking plenty of water. In severe cases, she may need to fast temporarily and then can progress to thin rice once symptoms improve. For vomiting, you can administer Stomach Relaxant (Anti-Vomiting Solution), 10 milligrams each time, twice to three times a day by intramuscular injection. For abdominal pain, 654-2, 10 milligrams each time, three times a day by oral administration, and you can also take Huoxiang Zhengqi Pill.
