Suggest Treatment For Vomiting And Diarrhea In A Child
Hi my child 4 n a half years, vomiting and diarrhoea, treated her with domperidone n after half an hour gave metronidazole, vomiting stopped but diarrhoea continues, and she also cries of stomach pain and stomach cramps, it has 4 hours since I gave her metronidazole. Should I wait, or another doze of metronidazole be given?

Hi,
It seems that she is having acute gastro-enteritis giving this problem.
In such case only metrogyl may not work.
She might require Ofloxacilin, tinidazole combination medicine to control infection.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
If proper steps are not taken in time there might be having dehydration problem and might require IV fluids and antibiotics.
Meanwhile give her plenty of water, electrolytes and ORS liquid to prevent dehydration.
Ok and take care.
