Hi,
Noted the history about your 1 year and 4 month old child.
Loose stools with vomiting is usually suggestive of one of the following:
Intestinal infection
Intolerance to something in foods or beverages.
Hence I would advise you the following:
Send the stool for tests.
Consult your Pediatrician for clinical evaluation, examination so that whether there is any infection and dehydration is present or not.
Persistent vomiting may need intravenous fluids, electrolytes and antibiotics as vomiting will not allow the intake and child can go into dehydration and electrolyte imbalance soon.
If the vomiting has stopped then oral rehydration is very important.
As also the medications as advised by the Pediatrician.
Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
