What Is The Treatment For Diarrhea?
My 2 year old may have drank toilet water, and now has been vomiting for a week and has diarrhea. The first 2 days she did not keep anything down and slept all day. For the next 5 days she has only vomited 1 or 2 times a day, but has had diarrhea every hour or so. What should I do?

He seems to be having a lot of loose stool and vomiting. Is he passing urine properly? If less than 5 times a day and in small amounts, the child is dehydrated. Keep feeding him plenty of fluids: plain water, ORS and breast milk. If he vomits out, intravenous fluids will be required. You need to see a doctor immediately for assessment of the dehydration and type of diarrhoea.
