Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
Welcome to the HCM

Your child seems to be suffering from a viral gastroenteritis episode alongside the respiratory infection. In my opinion you may try the following measures:
- keep him well hydrated by regular oral rehydration therapy I.e. ORS, Lemonade, Buttermilk etc
- Syp. Ondensetrone or domperidone can be given to relieve vomiting.
- Syp. Chlorpheniramine will help him in cough and also help in sleep.
-In case the stool has blood or mucous present, then start antibiotics such as ofloxacin-ornidazole.
- Syp. Zinc at 20mg once daily for next 2 weeks will help him in recovery.
