Dear Sir

She was on drip for three days and doctor is giving her antibiotic injections and emeset syrup plus few pre and probiotics and ORS. she is recovering very slowly. After having so many injections from a week even till date she passes four to five motions per day especially after having some food or milk. I guess she also feels very week and she plays very less.

Hi,
Your daughter is suffering from Acute Gastro Enteritis (AGE) due to infection of the stomach and colon. This can come to any child or some minimum food poison can also produce symptoms like this. The treatment the child is getting is 100% correct. I think motion examination might have been done already. For AGE along with treatment - diet and hydration are the main factors. Hydration part of it the child is already in IV Drip. Regarding diet pre boiled water, rice kanji water, Arrowroot powder, ORS is Ok (as the child is getting IV fluids). Oral milk is better to avoid. Anyhow consult your Dr. A slow control is better as the child is having associated vomiting also. I think the child will be alright with this treatment within 1 or 2 days
Best wishes

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
It seems that your daughter is suffering from acute gastro-enteritis.
As treatment is continue, gradually she will be alright.
It takes few days to recover.
Give her plenty of water, electral and ORS liquid.
You can add Lactobacillus sachets after consulting your doctor as there might be disturbed normal intestinal flora.
Give her coffee, curd, rice.
Ok and bye.
