What Could Be The Reason For Having Vomiting And Diarrhea?
When I found my 22 month old toddler in her crib she had vomitted all over her sheets. I woke her up, gave her a bath, and a couple hours later she had very loose yellow diarrhea, it literally dripped everywhere. She does not have a fever and does not appear to be sick or feeling sick. She had never thrown up before which is why I m wondering what it could be. I plan to do brat diet and get some pedialyte or Gatorade.

Hi,
It can be because of viral Gastroentritis.The first effort should be for preventing from dehydration.For that give her plenty of oral water ,if loose motions episode are more than two to three ,you can also start pedialyte.To prevent vomiting ,you may give syp .ondeasteron as per need.
If you see any alarming sign of dehydration ,for example sunken eyes,irritability,redused skin turger etc pls inform her treating doctor.
