Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. She has acute gastroenteritis.I see similar cases amongst children who visit my clinic. I advice them to take Cefixime 4 mg/kg/dose twice a day for 5 days. You can discuss this with your treating Doctor.
Try to follow the following guidelines:
1.Keep your baby hydrated with plenty of water and ORS.
2.Cut down the protein and fat food,tea; give mashed potato and rice water, cookies, dry bread.
2.Domstal syrup you can use for vomiting.
3.Visilac 1 capsule once a day for normal flora.
4.Enzyme's syrup should be given for normal digestion.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing your family good health.
