Suggest Treatment For Severe Diarrhea And Vomiting In A Child After Taking Advent Forte
My baby is 1 year old and was given syp. Advent forte as prescribed by doctor. However, after two days, baby had vomiting and diarrhea after taking the medicine. Now doctor has advised to stop the medicine. The full course of medicine was for 5 days. Will it create problem if we stop the medicine after 2 days?
There is no problem in stopping the medicine after 2 days. But, first we should determine what the cause of vomiting and diarrhea is:
- the primary diagnosis for which he was prescribed Advent forte?
- or side effect of advent forte?
Give plenty of fluids especially water with oral rehydration salts. Give tasectan and probiotics.

Suggest Treatment For Severe Diarrhea And Vomiting In A Child After Taking Advent Forte
Hello, There is no problem in stopping the medicine after 2 days. But, first we should determine what the cause of vomiting and diarrhea is: - the primary diagnosis for which he was prescribed Advent forte? - or side effect of advent forte? Give plenty of fluids especially water with oral rehydration salts. Give tasectan and probiotics. If cannot take anything orally, should start intravenous therapy. Discuss this further with his caring pediatrician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wish you fast recovery.
