Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for consulting at Healthcare Magic.
Diarrhea and vomitings suggest your baby is suffering from Gastroenteritis.
Gastroenteritis may be caused due to bacterial, viral or protozoal infection.
For vomitings give Ondansetaron (0.10mg/kg BID)
Give ORS solution to prevent dehydration.
Give probiotics like Econorm Sachet 1 BID.
As the stools are smelly, it may suggest some bacterial or protozoal infection.
You may start antibiotics after consulting your doctor. Metronidazole can be given in the dose of 10mg/kg 8 hourly.
If your baby is getting dehydrated and lethargic, consult your doctor as early as possible.
