What Causes Vomiting And Watery Diarrhea While Having Sinus Congestion?
Question: I have a one year old little girl that has has some sinus conjection for a couple weeks now. But she is waking up all night long to vomit and have two to three watery diarrhea diapers a day. This has been going on for almost three weeks as soon as her stool about goes back to normal she starts all over again.
Brief Answer:
It may be sinusitis with throat congestion.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
As per your history, I think your daughter has sinusitis with throat congestion. The episodes of vomiting maybe because of throat congestion. Does she have a fever, taking feed properly?
As you had taken amoxicillin earlier, sometimes loose motion is a side effect of that, but that is temporary. Giving her probiotics will be helpful.
You can give nasal decongestant like phenylephrine, and Nasal Saline drops. Along with that if she has a fever then give antipyretic syrup. She may require antibiotics. As these are prescriptions medicine so consult with your family doctor or pediatrician. Keep her warm and well hydrated. Do nebulization twice a day. Maintain proper hygiene. Do a stool examination if the symptoms continue. Kindly follow up with detailed history.
Hope I have answered your query.
