Why is my baby vomiting, having a fever and having diarrhea?

Every baby is the apple of his parents' eyes. Parents will be particularly anxious if the baby is not feeling well. Many parents think that the child's health is the most important thing and everything else is secondary. After all, nowadays there is usually only one child in a family. Of course, parents will also feel uncomfortable if the child is not feeling well, and they may even wish they were sick. The most common symptoms for children are fever and diarrhea. So what's going on when babies vomit, have a fever, and have diarrhea? Let’s learn more about it!

1. Diarrhea due to spleen deficiency: Weak spleen and stomach lead to diarrhea after eating. There are undigested food, milk lumps, etc. in the stool, but it is not smelly. The baby's face is yellow and he looks not energetic.

2. Diarrhea caused by food poisoning: Because the baby eats too much, it causes abdominal distension and pain, and the stool is sour and smelly. Because excessive eating damages the spleen and stomach, the baby does not want to eat.

3. Wind-cold diarrhea: The baby’s abdomen gets cold due to external factors such as playing outside, not paying attention when taking a bath, or not adding clothes in time when the weather turns cold. The stool is clear, foamy or green, and some babies will have fever symptoms.

4. Spleen and kidney yang deficiency diarrhea: This is what we often call "early morning diarrhea", bowel movements at four or five in the morning, long-term diarrhea, pale complexion, fear of cold, cold hands and feet, and lack of energy.

5. Damp-heat diarrhea: urgent diarrhea, smelly stool, a few with mucus, redness and swelling around the anus, loss of appetite, dry lips, and sometimes fever.

According to pediatricians, diarrhea and fever are common symptoms in babies. First of all, parents should find out whether the cause of their baby's diarrhea is infectious or non-infectious, and then prescribe the right medicine. It is especially important to observe the baby's condition. The amount of urine is a sign of whether the baby is dehydrated. If the amount of urine is the same as usual, it means that the baby is not dehydrated. If your baby urinates little or even no, it means he may be severely dehydrated. Parents can give the baby homemade rice soup or sugar and salt water, and give the baby plenty of water.

Now we know why babies vomit, have fever and diarrhea. Knowing the cause, we can prescribe the right medicine, which will make treatment more convenient. Of course, we must also pay attention to it in normal times, because children are our babies, and some foods must be washed thoroughly before eating, which will be beneficial to the baby's body.
