Brief Answer:
Please give her ORS
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at HealthcareMagic.
Your daughter is most probably suffering from a viral gastroenteritis. It is a self limiting condition. The treatment consists of giving ORS or gatorade after each motion and vomiting or whenever the child wants it. Give her adequate solid food whenever she wants it. Resrict milk and juice intake.
Look for signs of dehydration like decreased urination, dry sunken eyes, fussiness, dry mouth, excessive thirst, etc. If excessive motions or blood in stools then also its time to see a doctor. If it does not get better in 5 days then also its time to see doctor.
Hope it helps
