Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Stomach Pain And Vomiting In A 6 Year Old?
My 6 year old daughter had a stomach ache for 3-4 hours last night before awakening to omit. She has since vomited 6-7 times and has 101.5F fever, with continuing stomach pain. No one else in the family is ill; we all ate the same foods. What might she have? How shall we treat her?
Hi...by what you quote I feel that your kid might be having a starting stage of viral diarrhea. It usually starts with vomiting and pain in the tummy and then proceeds to have diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment. If there is vomiting you can use Syrup Ondansetron (as prescribed by your paediatrician).
