Suggest Treatment For Allergic Sore Throat And Cough In A Child

My daughter inhaled spray paint fumes (while painting) and had respiratory symptoms (sore throat, cough etc) but has now had nausea/ vomiting/ diarrhea for a few days, 8 days since painting. Could this still be from the paint fumes? If it could be, what is treatment at this point? Will antioxidants (alpha-lipoic acid) help?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for your query on health care magic.
paint fumes cant cause diarrhea and vomiting after 8 days. It may be caused by gastroenteritis.
I suggest you to give her famotidin and domperidon tab/ syp for vomiting and probiotic for loose motions.
