Gastro-enteritis

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
1) These symptoms suggest possibility of gastro-enteritis.
2) This is a condition in which inner layer of stomach and start-part of small intestine become inflamed (redness + swelling) due to irritation or allergy from particular food.
3) Digestion would be affected because of inflammation and this lead to bloating.
4) Inflammation of stomach lead to nausea and episodes of vomiting due to irritation from stomach acid.
5) This condition leads dehydration due to severe vomiting and prevention of it is must. Drinking of ORS powder mixed water is recommended once frequency of vomiting is reduced.

7) This is not serious condition as far as dehydration is prevented.
