hi im hoping you can help me i have taken my 4 yr old son to the doctors 4 times in 2 month and still no further forward with whats wrong with him. the problem is on friday he drank a full bottle of cheap strawberry fizzy juice then he was out of sorts and you could see he was uncomfortable the same all day saturday until he was severly sick and complaining of being full he had a little bit of runny poo on sunday morning then was fine not really eating or drinking monday he drank some more of the same juice and same thing happened again sick runny poo tuesday he was fine today he seemed to have tummy pain soft poo but not runny he went again he seemed to be struggling to poo but after about 20mins he had some soft poos and complained of being full do you think there was something in the juice his body cant tolerate.also he seems to be always thirsty i have had him tested and hes not diabetic he coughs alot mainly after he has eaten or drank something please help i am really concerned because he has never had a problem with eating or drinking before he is a good eater his poos very from day to day

Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM.
It looks like food poisioning. The juice he drank out side may not be up to the mark.
Avoid drinking that juice and better avoid eating out as far as possible.
Give him plenty of oral fluids like ORS,Coconut water or barley and rice kanjee etc.,
Give him one sachet sporolac daily and also Zn-20 syrup 5 ml daily.
Give Cyclopam syrup 5 ml 2-3 times daily to get rid of pain abdomen.
You may add antibiotic like Walamycin if there is fever.
This will improve his condition within 4-5 days.
If no improvement consult pediatrician.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose.
Please feel free to ask any more queries.
Take care.
