What Causes Death Of A Child After Having Probiotics And Vit C For Diarrhea?
My son was confined because of diarrhea and vomiting. The doc gave him ampicilin. When we got home after 3 days, the doc prescribed probiotics and vit c. We do not know that he has g6pd. A day before the followup check up, we rushed him to the hospital but declared dead on arrival after performing cpr. What maybe the cause of his death? Thanks!

I am really sorry to hear of your son's death. It is impossible for any online consultant to say why and how he died. The possible reasons could be dehydration, sepsis, electrolyte disturbances with heart arrest, a drug reaction or something unknown.
