Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea in a child which is due to food poisoning, bacterial and parasitic infections and due to electrolyte imbalance in body. Need not to worry. Most of the time it will go away by its own in 3-5 days if we manage it properly. Major complication of diarrhea is dehydration, you should rehydrate your daughter with time to time .Oral rehydration solution is best for this. Give your daughter proper rest. Avoid too much oily food and give him rice banana and bread toasts . High fever in case of vomiting with diarrhea is matter of concern. So you should visit general physician/ pediatrician once if symptoms do not subside . For now you can give him loperamide for frequent stools and paracetamol for fever .
