Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Treatment For Persistent Loose Motions And Vomiting
3 1/2 old kid, she is suffering from loose motions and vomiting and it got controlled after using medicines, later within a week once again she is suffering from loose motions and vomiting, so dr. gave extra Junior 15mg tablet to be given....not knowing what is the issue
Vomiting and loose motions in a 3 1/2 old kid is referring acute gastroenteritis. Virus is the most common cause.
If it was controlled and then started again, then, further diagnostic tests recommended to determine the right diagnosis: - stool examination - stool culture - abdominal ultrasound - complete blood count - urine analysis
For the moment, I advise to: - keep her well hydrated - if still vomiting, should send to ER as iv fluid replacement treatment should be carried out - give probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora - tasectan or pepto bismol can help with loose stool
Wish fast recovery.
