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.
my daughter is 10 and has been vomiting since 9:30 this morning and no diarreha cannot keep anything including water down, no fever, has not urinated since 11 last night. hungry but will not give her anything. any chance this is a stomach bug that needs to run it s course or should i be more concerned.
This may be a prodrome of viral diarrhea or starting phase. It will initially start with vomiting and then proceed on to diarrhea.
Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment.
Regarding diet - Avoid fruit juices as they might aggravate diarrhea. You can give zinc supplements & ORS apart from normal vegetarian porridges & soups.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology

Vomiting,no Fever.Cause?
