What Causes Sudden Onset Of Vomiting With Severe Diarrhea And Distended Stomach?

My2 yr old son suddenly started vomiting with severe diarrhea 3 days ago. We have kept him hydrated, but his stomach is getting rather distended. He had fever for about 12 hrs, day before yesterday. But his bowel movements.. .i wouldnt consider them loose. I would say flowing...very very runny and pungent. He acts like hes in pain and discomfort. Any suggestions? He has no medications. No one at home takes any meds.

He has got some infection in the gastrointestinal tract. You should consult the Pediatrician to rule out any worm infestation.
Give 1 TeaSpoon full twice daily by mouth, Pepto-Bismol Anti-Diarrheal/Liquid Antacid Suspension (262 mg / 15 mL). NOTE: If your child has measles.flu symptoms, don't use it.
An alternative is Imodium A-D for kids mint flavored. First ask a Pediatrician and use this OTC as 1Tes spoonful twice daily by mouth. Stop all antidiarrheal as soon as stools becomes normal.
keep him on Tylenol 4ml every 4 hourly (if fever). Pedialyte to rehydrate, but you already doing good in that.
