Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi my daughter is 9 has just recently had a gastro bug she was sick about 50hrs ago she had one day previous of upset tummy and the same day as vomiting she had an upset tummy. She has been struggling to eat and drink properly since and has been complaining of feeling bloated in her chest area and keeps burping. Today she went for a poo and her stools were a very pale yellow/grey and of normal consistency. About 6 hrs before she went to the toilet she had had ibuprofen for a sprained foot and had eaten it with a small sausage roll. She has drank a bit but not alot today. Should i be concerned? She has a normal temp of 35.9
Hi....It seems your kid is having viral diarrhoea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment. If there is vomiting you can use Syrup Ondansetron (as prescribed by your paediatrician). Regards - Dr. Sumanth
