What causes continuous vomiting and diarrhea in a child?
Patient: I have a 9 year old daughter that has had continuous vomiting and diarrhea for four days, she has no fever and blood pressure has been fine. She vomited sunday and Monday and was fine until just now. She had blood drawn at the drs today but then came home and is vomiting again... Doctor: Probably your child has gastroenteritis. It causes diarrhoea and vomiting that can continue for 5-7 days. Give her Ondem MD (ondansetron mouth dissolving tablet) half an hour before food so that she does not vomit it out. Give ORS so that she does not suffer from dehyration due to loss of salt and water from body. The blood counts will indicate if there are signs of infection. If you post the reports, I will try to help you further.
