Hi, My lad is of 3 and half years old, reporting vomiting for first 3 days and loose motions (last 3 days, though not frequent, but twice in a day) since past one week (intermittently)- and complains of stomach pain before vomiting, his food intake is limited, as he complains that his stomach is full even if he takes small potion of rice/ food please suggest
Your son is probably suffering from acute gastroenteritis. Most commonly it is due to a viral cause. The cause does not need to be treated and becomes ok in 3-7 days without any treatment. But the loss of salt and water from the body needs to be replenished. ORS has to be given to prevent dehydration. You can give curd or yogurt but avoid milk based products for a week or so. Give him ODEM (ondansetron) syrup to relieve his vomiting. Demonic syrup will relieve his abdominal pain.
