Suggest remedy for stomach upset, vomiting and diarrhea in 2.6 years
Patient: HI doctor, my baby(2.6 yrs) had vomiting in the morning. I took her to the pediatrician doctor suggested Junior Lanzol. but after giving this tablet by mixing in 3 mil of water after her break fast she was fine for 2-3 hrs but after that her stomach is upset. Please suggest. She passed motions 2-3 time with in 1 hr of time. Doctor: Hello!Thank you for asking Healthcaremagic!Answer:From your description, it seems like a gastroenteritis.Most cases of gastroenteritis in children are mild and pass within five to seven days without any specific treatment. It is very important to drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration and use oral rehydration salts.If your child has pain and a high temperature, this can be relieved by giving liquid paracetamol. Medication to prevent vomiting and antidiarrhoeal medication are not usually recommended for children with gastroenteritis.I would suggest:1. Juices, fruits and vegetables2. Probiotic yoghurts are also available 4. Zincovit should help in recovery if diarrhoea is continuingIf he is running fever, stools contain blood/mucus/very offensive then it needs to be tested and may need antibiotics.I suggest you to consult the pediatrician again if the symptoms get worse.Hope my answer was helpful!
