Loose Motion, Losing Water, Has Vomiting, Fever. Given Emset. Sufficient?
My child is have loose motion but lot of water is not loosing through motion. Only little bit stool.is coming out and almost dry.initially he is having vomitting.now almost stopped.doctor advised emset at the morning before food ranitidineinj vizylac carmicide he is suffered fever last night is it ok to give theese medicine
Hi Thanks for your query. Your child is having acute gastroenteritis which is mostly viral in nature and settles in few days. Most important is to maintain hydration. since vomiting has stopped there is no need of giving emset or ranitidine inj. For fever you can give acetaminophen in prescribed dosage. Continue with vizylac. Give oral rehydration solution if stool is watery. Give lemonade,curd,rice porridge,banana
In case symptoms persist get him re evaluated by pediatrician as sometimes bacterial infection is there for which a course of antibiotic will be needed.
