Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, vomiting with loose stools in a 4 year old child can be due to acute gastroenteritis,or food poisoning. In acute gastroenteritis fever is also present, and symptoms of pain abdomen can also be present. In case of food poisoning there is history of something eating from outside. You should give more fluid to child so that the dehydration doesn't occur. Give ORS solution to child so that hydration can be maintained. The child will most probably need antibiotics if loose stools and vomiting persists​. For vomiting you can give antiemetic like ondansetron syrup 0.1 milligram per kg to child 3 times a day. You should get the child examined by doctor as soon as possible. Prebiotic like into enterogermina ampule can be given once a day for 3 days to increase get immunity. Have a nice day.
