Pediatrician,  's  Response
Your child is suffering from an acute gastro enteritis which is most commonly caused due to preformed bacterial toxins in some food item that she has taken. The effect is usually short lived lasting for a day or two but may also continue for as long as 5 days. The cause does not need to be treated unless associated with bloody stools. The salt and water lost needs to be replenished by giving ORS frequently. Unless ORS is given adequately, dehydration may occur and would make the condition serious. Give paracetamol to bring down the temperature. You may give ondem syrup or ondem mouth dissolving tablet to reduce vomiting.
