Suggest Remedy For Persistent Vomiting And Diarrhoea In A Child

My son is 20 months old and had vomiting throughout the night on Tuesday/Wednesday...after 5 episodes overnight, he was back to normal by Wednesday aside from a decreased appetite. Since Wednesday he has had very pale liquid stools with lots of gas. Activity level is normal--eating and drinking with no more vomiting. Is this stool change residual from the GI distress or does he need to be seen to rule out pancreatic/gall bladder involvement? Thank you for your time and expertise!

Hello, thank you for posting your query here. The vomiting and loose stools all seem like a part of the GI infection, and should settle.in a few days.
I would suggest Ondansetron half hour.bedore.meals to.help with the vomiting, and zinc supplements for the diarrhea as it has been shown to decrease the duration of diarrhea.
Home available fluids like tendercoconut water, buttermilk or ORS powder.solution after every loose stool will replenish his fluids and electrolytes.
Hope he gets better soon, take care.
