Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, welcome to HCM. Can understand your concerns.
From the history it seems that your child has been admitted in hospital for acute gastroenteritis with dehydration.
There are complications in acute gastroenteritis like hypokalemia and intestinal obstruction which can lead to distended abdomen.
Kindly do complete blood count, serum electrolyte level, X ray abdomen and ultrasound abdomen.
An examination by doctor should be done so that we may not miss any important finding.
Review back with above reports.
I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
