Hi
thanks for writing to health care magic.
in your child with diarrhea and vomiting you should first look for dehydration.
the following are the signs of dehydration
dry mouth
sunken eyes
lethargy
irritability
decreased skin elasticity... when pinched it does not go back quickly
decreased passage of urine
normally we rehydrate the child with ORS or IV fluids depending on the clinical scenario
You may contact me with further details on the following URL...........

Hi Annie,
Thank you for your query,
Your child is having gastroenteritis which may be due to a virus or a bacteria.
For vomitings you can give an antiemetic like ondansetron in prescribed dosage.
Give sips of oral rehydration solutions like Pedialyte, coconut water, and lemon water to prevent dehydration.
Monitor her hydration by urine output, skin turgor, and tongue moisture.
Consult your Pediatrician for the assessment and further treatment.
Hope I have answered your query.
