Starting Sunday night my 6 year old threw up in the middle of the night. He was fine Monday. Tuesday he had smelly egg farts and threw up again and had diarrhea Tuesday night. He was okay Wednesday and threw up again and diarrhea Thursday. He was okay Friday. Saturday my 4 year old woke up with diarrhea and vomiting and has had smelly egg burps and farts. What could be causing this?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about your 6 year old, vomited in the middle of night, , smelly egg farts and diarrhea. Similar things started with your 4 year old one.
With the history you have provided, the possibilities are:
There is infection through either the food brought from outside or old stale food or the drinking water or so.
I would advise for both your children the following:
Take them to the Pediatrician for clinical evaluation, examination and investigations to know the severity of the gastroenteritis they are suffering.
If not severe, they will be given oral treatment.
If much severe, get them admitted for intra-venous fluids, antibiotics and replacement of the electrolytes till they are cured.
Secondly, find the course of an infection and also watch if the problems develop in the family to get treated in time.
I find this answer helpful
