Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, your child is most probably suffering from acute gastroenteritis, food poisoning. The main thing that we have to take care in acute gastroenteritis is of dehydration. give more Fluids to child. Give soft diet to child. Give ORS solution so that hydration can be maintained. prebiotic like enterogermina ampule should be given once a day for 3 days to increase gut immunity. for vomiting you can give antiemetic syrup like syrup ondem which contains ondansetron. If vomiting and loose stool persist then antibiotic needs to be given. An examination by doctor is also necessary so that we may not make any important finding. Take care.
