Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, your child is most probably suffering from acute gastroenteritis. In acute gastroenteritis there is loose stools, vomitings and fever. the main thing that we have to take care in acute gastroenteritis is of dehydration so you have to give more fluids 2 child. Give ORS solution to child to maintain hydration. Prebiotic like enterogermina ampule once a day should be given for 3 days to increase gut immunity. if loose stools persist, vomitings persist, are there is decreased activity then you should get the child examined by a doctor so that we may not miss any important finding. if you loose stools persists then antibiotic needs to be started. Give soft diet to child. Take care.
