Suggest Treatment For Severe Vomiting And Diarrhea In A Child

Proper hand hygiene is important
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
It seems that there is some source of contamination somewhere in the process. Proper hand hygiene is very important as is proper washing of the utensils. Consider your ABCs - applesauce, bananas, and cereal (rice, biscuits dipped in milk, or roti softened with milk/water). Boiled rice and dal with vegetables and give in mashed form. Gradually increase the amount and frequency. Introduce one new food item per week and stick to it at least for the week.
I would insist you to go through the following chart about what foods to give at what age:

Noting down so much information would have made the answer unnecessarily long. Pardon me for avoiding that.
Give ORS (oral rehydration solution) in case the child has diarrhea. If the frequency of passage of urine is more than 6-8 times in 24 hours it is not a cause for concern. You may give some antiemetic like ondansetron if required.
Hopefully that clears your queries. Feel free to write back.

Clinical examination needed
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the update. In such a case it would be a good idea to visit a doctor and to get the child evaluated. Causes like intestinal obstruction, pyloric stenosis (usually starts earlier) or other pathologies need to be ruled out.
