Suggest treatment for vomiting and loose stools in kid
Patient: I have a two year old daughter that began vomiting on Saturday night and although she is now no longer vomiting and has only had a couple of loose stools, over the last couple of days when changing her nappy she has had a light brown discharge in the front of her nappy. She also has a bad cough. Any ideas? Doctor: Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. For vomiting give her an over the counter antiemetic (other than primperane as its contraindicated in children). For loose stool give an anti diarrheal drug and oral rehydration solution 5 tea spoons with each diarrheal motions to avoid dehydration. For cough give a cough suppressant and expectorant.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
