Question: My 12 year old son had sudden onset of diarrhea and three up many times during 7 separate episodes. My doctor prescribed him Zofran to stop the nausea. It has been over 48 hours since he started this, no more throwing up, or diarrhea , no zofran for 36 hours but his stomach really hurts around his lower belly. He's drinking fluids but no appetite, and feels very week.
