Gastroenterologist 's  Response
Hi,

Your daughter is having gastroenteritis. Gastroenteritis, also known as infectious diarrhea, is inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract that involves the stomach and small intestine. Diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain are the most important symptoms of gastroentritis.

The primary treatment of gastroenteritis in both children and adults is rehydration. Give her one glass ORS on every stool. Some probiotics have been shown to be beneficial in reducing both the duration of illness and the frequency of stools sporlac sachet should be given once daily, syrup Norflox tz should be given. Food should be light and easily digestible.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ramesh Kumar
