Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain And Vomiting In A Child
My 8 year old daughter came home from daycare Wednesday and said after lunch she had thrown up twice. She said her tummy hurt and she would not eat supper. Shortly after that she ran to the bathroom and had diarrhea - about 3 times that night. Finally got her to eat something around 9 pm - 5 am she woke up and threw up again. (Thur morning) went through the day and said she didnt feel good but didnt get sick. Thursday night once again diarrhea and puked once. Friday morning I was taking her to work with me as she said her tummy hurt. I had to pull over on the side of the road so she could throw up. Called the doc they said unless she had puked or had diarrhea 10 times in one day not to worry about it. Just a low grade fever also. Friday night she is at dads he gets her to eat a little at 7 pm then at midnight she wakes up with a tummy ache and throws up again. This has been going on for 4 days. I am getting a little worrried.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of stomach pain and vomiting which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis/ viral infection. Poor immunity of body is further additive factor for your condition. Need not to worry. You should watch for loose motions, dehydration, fever, urinary problems etc to rule out underlying pathology. I would suggest you to take proper rest. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done to find out underlying cause of fever whether bacterial or viral and start treatment accordingly. Avoid taking cold carbonated beverages and hot and spicy food. You should take plenty of fluids to rehydrate. You should do tepid sponging as well.You can give meftal spas syrup will before meals 3 times a day along with proton pump inhibitors.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
