Should I continue Econorm in a child if it has given some relief from vomiting?
Patient: Hi...my 3 and 1/2 year old son  has vomitted 4 times in the past 4 hours. He is throwing up everything that he is eating...I have given hime one sachet of econorm at around 7.30pm since then he has not vomitted. should i given hime another sachet now? Doctor: You can give another sachet now, no issues with the same. But I doubt whether econorm is the cause of stoppage of the vomiting. You can continue econorm for a few days. If the vomiting recurs, giving some antiemetic like ondansetron should be helpful. Giving ORS (oral rehydration solution) to prevent dehydration is important.
