Suggest Treatment For Vomiting And Diarrhea In A Child

My 4yr old is throwing up white chunks. It's like a mixture of cottage cheese, white sponge and homemade lumpy mashed potatoes. It started during the night Monday night, twice during the day Tuesday, during the night Tuesday night and wed a couple times and the acidic diarrhea started wed. Wednesday night no vomit but several diarrheas and continued into Thursday with one vomit. Every vomit has been that white stuff, it's very strange. Any idea?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Diarrhea and vomiting suggest your child is probably suffering from gastroenteritis.
Other causes of such complaints are appendicitis, food poisoning, food allergies, intestinal obstruction etc.
Gastroenteritis may be caused due to bacterial, viral or protozoal infection, but viral infections are more common.
Treatment for this condition is antiemetic like ondansetaron for vomiting, ORS solution to prevent dehydration.

If no relief consult your doctor and ask for investigations like USG abdomen, stool examination etc.

For further queries regarding this disease or its medications you may consult me at Healthcare Magic.
