What Can I Give Other Than Pedialyte For Stomach Flu?

My 11 month granddaughter has a stomach flu I think. yesterday about 1 hour after lunch she has a projectile vomiting episode. This morning after her breakfast she did the same thing. She seems to be tired, but also plays at times. What can I give her besides pedialyte to make her more comfortable?

Hello Dr Faisal here,
I have read and understood your query.take a single episode of vomiting as a very mild problem and relax. I will suggest you to continue pedialyte and keep on giving her breast feed or formula milk(whichever you are already giving) and observe her for fever or any vomiting. keep her well hydrated and give her syrup domperidone(15 min before feed) if there is some other episode of vomiting.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take Care
Regards.
