My 18 month old vomited once yesterday but quite a bit. She also had one bout of diarrhea in the afternoon with quite a bit of mucus in it. It came out of nowhere and I ve been checking her temperature. It s fluctuated from 95.6 to 100.5. She hasn t eaten very much since yesterday but otherwise, she is met or less herself-playing with toys, climbing the couches, etc. I don t know if she might have a sore throat or maybe she ate something bad, any ideas?
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.
