Suggest Remedies For Constant Fever,diarrhea And Vomiting In A Child

Hi, My 5 yr old daughter has been sick for 3 days. The first day she had mild fever, vomiting, diarrhea. The second, she had just mild fever and diarrhea. Today, same but the vomiting returned (only a few times). She won t eat anything - maybe 1-2 crackers a day, although she likes the pedialyte freezies (electrolytes in them) and she s been drinking some water and some gingerale (stirred). One of her eyes is also quite bloodshot. (fever has been around 38 degrees celsius up to maybe 38.3). Please help!

Hello,

As per the symptoms, it looks like she had acute gastroenteritis. Giving probiotics might reduce loose stools. Avoid dairy products as it will cause more stomach upset. Give fever relievers like Tylenol, Meftal-P, or Calpol and give antiemetics like Emeset, Vomistop to control the vomiting.

Encourage her to drink plenty of fluids including oral rehydration salt, or electrolytes to keep the body well hydrated. If the loose motion doesn't subside with probiotics, and dehydration persists, kindly visit your local doctor or emergency room.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lipika Debbarma
