Hello,
There looks to be intestine infection with a possible bug as bacteria or rotavirus.
Primary care with ondem for vomiting control along with which
- boiled water, supportive oral rehydration salt
- GI specific antibiotic if stool microscopy or total white cell count is suggestive of bacterial infection
- strict hygiene care of mouth and hands
- addition of zinc in current drug regimen to restore intestine flora and supportive probiotics syrup
- take care that child does not put up toys like stuff in the mouth.
* In certain refractory cases and persistent vomiting, I recommend in hospital care of the child to prevent dehydration if needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
