Monitor for signs of dehydration. They include 1. Decreased skin turgor 2. Increasing thirst. 3. Sunken eyes. 4. Irritability. 5. Drowsiness. 6. Decreasing passage of urine. If there is blood or mucus in the stool antibiotics prescribed by your doctor may be required.
ORS or any other fluid containing salt and sugar prevents dehydration.
Vomiting should be controlled by antiemetic prescribed by your doctor. Probiotics and zinc will help.
Continue to ask further queries as required. Hope this helps. Take care.
