What Causes Vomiting And Diarrhea In A 30 Month Old With A Sweet Pungent Smell?

Hi, my daughter is 30 months old. She has vomiting and diarrhoea which both have a strange sweet smell. Vomiting is occasional, diarrhoea frequent and large volumes. I can hear her tummy bubbling and gurgling. She will take some liquids but not lots, she wants to drink milk. She has eaten small amounts of food which doesn t seem to have made it any worse. She has had a mild temperature but nothing serious. I am wondering if she has norovirus? If so should I be giving her any meds or doing anything different? In between episodes she is bouncing round full of energy.

Hi, diarrhoea till the age of 5 years is a common condition. Keep good hydration of your child by giving her lots of fluids, water and ORS liquid.
Give Syrup Zincolife 5 ml once daily for 14 days. Also give her some probiotics like Syrup Bifilac 2 ml twice daily. Af for feeds, give her regular food less oily and less spicy along with lots of curd.
There is no role of antibiotics if diarrhoea is transient. If it persists, give her Syrup Oflox-Oz twice daily.
Thanks and regards.
