What Medication Is Suggested For Stomach Virus?
my son just turned 4, he had a stomach virus from last Thursday to this Tuesday, vomitting followed by days of diareha. He fine now, eating, normal bowel movements, but his stomach protudes quite a bit. He's very thin to begin with, so his stomach has always slightly protruded underneath his exposed rib cage, but now it seems more than normal

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Children under 5 years have slightly hypotonic abdomen, so sometimes the abdomen appears to be protruding.
There is definitely no cause for concern.
Do get back to me for further queries
Take Care
