Suggest treatment for vomiting in a child
Patient: Hi . My son is 1.5 yrs .. From morning he is been vomiting . As suggested by doctor I have given olran syrup  for three times in 24 hours .. He is having fever as well .. He has puked everything even eletrol (  O R S ) ,milk n water . Please suggest me some medicines and what food I can give . Doctor: Your child is probably suffering from acute gastroenteritis. Give him Ondem MD (ondansetron mouth dissolving) tablet 4mg 1/2 tablet. It will dissolve in the mouth and hence not be able to reduce vomiting without causing it. After 15 mins to half an hour of the dose, give ORS or electral and other oral food and the baby would be able to tolerate it. Give this medicine thrice a day before food. Avoid milk and wheat based food products for a week. You can give curd or yogurt. Other than these, you can give all sorts of foods that the baby is accustomed to. The episode should get controlled in 2-3 days.
