Patient's question:
My little one (11 months old) is currently vomiting and having diarrhea. What should I do? I took him to the hospital, got injections, and took medicine, but it hasn't helped. It's been three days now. Please help!Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a check-up in this situation. The child may have acute gastroenteritis. It is possible that it is autumnal diarrhea. It is suggested to add an antiviral medication to the treatment you mentioned. Since the child is vomiting severely, it is recommended to temporarily fast for four to six hours, including medication, to give the stomach a rest and aid in recovery. However, if the child is extremely thirsty, you can give them small amounts of brown sugar water at intervals. This can help replenish energy while also soothing the stomach.
