Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Treatment For Loose Stool And Episodes Of Vomiting
My 2 year old has had loose, mucusy, clay colored stools this week. Last weekend had 2 rounds of vomiting followed by tiredness. The vomiting has stopped but she still appears very tired and now the diarrhea has been present for the last several days.
Your child could indeed be suffering from a gastrointestinal infection which may be the cause of vomiting and diarrhea. Excessive loss of salts and water from the body could give rise to dehydration, causing your child to feel tired. Please take her to the emergency room of a hospital with pediatric facilities, and get her assessed without delay. As of now, maintain proper hydration by giving ORS (oral rehydration solution) prepared by mixing a full sachet in a litre of plain water. Do not give milk for a week although you may give your child plenty of curd or yogurt since it contains beneficial bacteria.
