Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of diarrhea which seems to be due to viral infection leading to acute gastroenteritis and electrolyte imbalance in body. It could be due to irritable bowel syndrome and underlying systemic pathology. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate your body. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. You should take antiemetic like domperidone and ranitidine for gastritis. Avoid giving any sharp and spicy food. You should take oral rehydrating solution as well. You should take Ibuprofen along with proton pump inhibitors as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
