Suggest medication for fever,vomiting and diarrhea
Patient: Hi Doctor, My kid has a slight fever accompanied with vomitting and diarrhoea for the last 2 days. Is there any special diet/medication that I can give him to stop this condition. Please help. Right now he has been having light diet and fluids. Thanks, Anitha Doctor: Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.It seems your kid is having viral diarrhoea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion.I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
