Suggest treatment for vomiting and stomach pain
Patient: My 2 year old son has been up all night crying about stomach pains. He started with them around midnight. At about 5 am he began vomiting a milky white watery fluid on and off. I have given him some child s paracetamol, but it s doesn t seems to have helped him. He also has a temperature and is lethargic + moaning in pain due to his stomach ache. Doctor: Hi...this could be stomach flu which is starting and he might start to have diarrhea too. If there is vomiting you can use Syrup Ondansetron as prescribed by your pediatrician (It is a prescription drug). 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. If there is diarrhea -  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.
