What Causes Severe Vomiting And Diarrhea In Children?
Hi, I have a 6 yr old boy. He got sick in the early morning hours a few weeks ago. Vomiting & diarrhea. Vomiting lasted 24 hrs (maybe 3xs) diarrhea lasted 2-3 days. Then seemed to get better. Got sick again last week with vomiting and diarrhea. Episodes lasted a couple days again. Then better again for several days. Now, again today not feeling well and has started watery diarrhea again. What could be causing the recurrence??

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a gastrointestinal infection. I recommend to give daily probiotics. I also recommend to use an over the counter option to treat the diarrhea such as Imodium. I suggest to take an electrolyte solution such as Pedialyte solution.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
