Hi , thanks for writing to us.
Went through your query in detail.

By the symptoms you have suggested it seems your child might be having infection of the gastrointestinal tract which may be transmitted through food , water or unclean surfaces.

Firstly keep your child well hydrated by giving frequent sips of oral re-hydration solution.

Secondly get a stool test done for stool routine and stools for reducing substances.

If signs of dehydration sets in - i.e decreased urine out put, dry mouth dry eyes dry skin, get a doctor to examine your child.

Kindly review back with the lab reports , will be eager to hear from you.

Regards.
