Hi,
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern.
Do not panic.
I think you are right in suspecting a stomach bug.Your child is suffering from some form of gastroenteritis.
Stop milk,juices and wheat products.
Give her a lot of fluids,yogurt.
Give her a probiotic syrup and and some antiacid medications.
If the condition worsens consult your doctor.
Hope this answers your query.
If you have any other queries kindly direct them to me.
Wishing a speedy recovery.
Have a nice day.
