Hi,
Thank you for your query.
Your son is having an intestinal infection and probably acute otitis media (infection of the middle ear). If he is not letting you touch his right ear and there is a yellowish discharge then the ear needs to be shown to a doctor to rule out middle ear infection. If there is infection then appropriate antibiotic which shall cover both the ear and intestinal infection needs to be given. The infection can be the reason why his appetite has reduced.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your son an early recovery.

Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Your child is having two problems :
1. Acute diarrhea due to which he is having loose stools and vomintings.
2. Ear infection which is causing pain and eye discharge.
Some times infection in the body will lead to diarrhea called Parenteral diarrhea which subsides with treating the primary infection.
Continue medication as advised by the doctor.
Maintain hydration by giving sips of oral rehydration solutions like Pedialyte.
Monitor hydration by urine output, activity, and skin turgor.
Consult the Pediatrician again to get ear examined and treatment for it.
Hope I have answered your query.
