Gastrointestinal type of cold in children is primarily characterized by symptoms of a common cold, such as sneezing, runny nose, and fever. The gastrointestinal symptoms usually include nausea and vomiting, with or without diarrhea. Some children may also experience abdominal distension and crying among other symptoms.

The treatment principle for the gastrointestinal type of cold involves treating the symptoms of the cold, which can include taking oral medication for colds. If it is caused by a viral infection, antiviral medication may be used to treat the symptoms. For mild nausea and vomiting, controlling the diet and consuming light, liquid foods may suffice. More severe cases may require intravenous fluids and rehydration or the use of antiemetic drugs for further treatment. If abdominal pain and bloating occur, it is necessary to facilitate gastrointestinal passage, such as by encouraging bowel movements, applying heat to the abdomen, or gently rubbing the abdomen in a clockwise direction, etc.

(The use of medication should be carried out under the guidance of a healthcare professional.)
