Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain, Vomiting And Loose Stools
Question: My 11 yr old daughter woke up with stomach ache (she said upper region of stomach) and her vomite is brown , foul smelling and chunky. Her stools are loose. I'm concerned for her because in the past year she has had same symptoms. Doctors have said its just a stomach bug. But can a person get a stomach bug 4 times in a year?

I understand your concern.
Yes, a person can get stomach infection multiple times a year, it is not uncommon. In your history, you have mentioned how she was treated before and the do's and dont's your doctor had rightly said. Well, for the acute episode that she is suffering now, do the following-
Give her tab ofloxcin-ornidazole twice daily for 5 days.
Give her tab ondansetran one tablet when there is vomiting.
Give her tab decolic for stomach pain twice daily for 3 days.
Give her plenty of home available fluid per oral, specially after vomits and stool.
Avoid fatty and junk food, give her soft diet for few days, then give small frequent meals and more dietary fibers.
Give her ORS solution per oral if there is much stool.
Avoid milk-products.
Get a blood for complete hemogram and stool for occult blood done.
You can contact your doctor for prescription of the above and further consultations.

Hope i have answered your question.
