Hi Doctor, My daughter is 2 yrs old she is having fever, vomiting and loose motions from past 3 days. We are already giving her medications and ORS to prevent dehydration but their is very minor improvement. Are there any tests that we should go for?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have fever, vomiting and diarrhea in a child which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis which could be due to a virus. I would suggest you to start giving oral rehydration fluids sip by sip to maintain the hydration. You should take Probiotics such as lactobacillus. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. you should give Ibuprofen to child along with proton pump inhibitors as well. I would suggest you to take antiemetic like domperidone and ranitidine for gastritis. Avoid giving any sharp and spicy food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
