Internal Medicine Specialist, Dr. Divakara's Response
HI
Thanks for posting your query.
It seems like he is having Gut infection . Most of the times Gut infection is due to Virus and it subsides by itself in 2-3 days . Till then make sure he is hydrated well. Give him Emeset tablet to control his vomiting.
You can get Intravenous Injection for vomiting if it doesn't subside with tablets. Avoid dairy products and avoid non veg food .
But if vomiting doesn't subside or diarrhoea persists even after 2-3 days then you better take him to doctor as he requires Intravenous fluids and Antibiotics for the gut infection.
Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarifications feel free to ask.
