Child With Vomiting And Diarrhea After Giving Zentel Suspension. Side Effect?

I gave my child a 10 ml dose of zentel suspension for the first time 2 days ago. Nearly 24 hours after the dosage he vomitted thrice in gaps of about 2-3 hours each. After 48 hours post the dosage he has watery diarrhea that is occuring again at 2-3 hours gaps. He passed normal stools prior to the watery stools but they were very pale in color. The watery stools are also pale. Is this a side-effect of zentel?

Hi ,
Thank you for your query.
This is not a specific side effect of Zentel.
I think you child is having an attack of gastroenteritis.
Give him Ondem syrup for vomiting and probiotic syrup for his loose motion.Add yogurt to his diet.
Avoid fruits,milk and wheat products.
Consult your doctor if the problem persists.
If you have any further queries you are free to consult me.
Hope this answers your query.
