Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Your child is having acute gastroenteritis which is mostly viral but could be bacterial as well.
Give antiemetic like domperidone as per dosage.
Give oral rehydration solution sip by sip in case he passes loose stools.
Give lemonade,curd,rice porridge,banana.
Watch for features of dehydration like decreased urine output/lethargy.
In case symptoms persist get him examined by pediatrician for further management.
Hope this helps.
God bless..
