Is Diarrhea And Bloated Stomach A Cause For Concern In Children?

Hi I have A three year old daughter and the last week she has had very bad diarrhea and tells me her stomach is in pain and points to her belly button her stomach is also bloated and hard along with the pain and has not wanted to eat that much and sleeps a lot more than usual. At first I thought she was getting sick because the first 2 days she was vomiting along with the diarrhea and had a low fever but my 7 month old has not had any of the same symptoms so should I worry and take the to the E.R

Thanks for consulting in HealthcareMagic. It seems your daughter has intestinal infection and dehydration due her previous diarrhea and cramps in stomach. Try to keep her hydrated with plenty of water or ORS, give spasmolytic drug-syp cyclopam/dicyclomin/, antibiotic-syp taxim/cefixime/, absorbent charcoal 3 tab and enterogermina 1 sashe 2 times for normalization of flora intestine. Give to her ORS 10ml every 5 min, if she will not drink water you should go to E.R for intravenous dropper for treatment of dehydration. If she will drink 1litr of water every day, its OK, you start feed her with blended food, rice, soup, boiled potato, bread. Don't give milk products, because it will stimulate gases and cramps.

I will review after 2 days
Best regards
