Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query your infant have symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting which can be caused by viral infection due to gastroenteritis. Lowered immunity of body causes increased susceptibility of getting infected. Need not to worry. Usually viral symptoms will resolve in one week on its own. I would suggest you to avoid intake of outside and hot, sharp and spicy liquids. Drink plenty of fluids, have proper rest. Take light diet. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit pediatrician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination and prescription. Go for blood tests as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
