Suggest Treatment For Viral Diarrhea

Looks like viral diarrhea is strating
Detailed Answer:
Hi...this looks like she is having a prodrome (starting stage) of viral diarrhea. It will initially start with vomiting and then she might have diarrhea too.
Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better.
For vomiting you can use Syrup Ondansetron as prescribed by your pediatrician (as it is a prescription drug).
For fever - Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F.
If diarrhea starts - I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
