What is the treatment of fever vomiting and loose motion in children ?
Patient: my son 1.5 yrs old having fever from last night. Did vomiting and had loose motion in the middle of the night and the fever receded. But from morning loose motion with yellowish sticky  material. after light food (over boiled rice) 4 times motion in an hour. What medicine can be administered at this stage. Doctor: HiWelcome to the HCMIt seems to me that your child has an episode of viral gastroenteritis. Don't worry, it can be managed by the following measures:1. Keep him well hydrated by regular feeds and oral rehydration therapy such as lemonade, soups or butter milk. If the fluid loss is excessive, than hydrate with oral rehydration solution available OTC after proper constitution.2. You may give him Syp. Emeset or Domperidone for  vomiting episodes.3. Also, start him on Syp. ZnD or Zinconia for next 14 days. It contains Zinc which is good for early recovery.4. In case of any fever episodes, you may give him acetaminophen syrup.In case his oral intake drops significantly and he looks dehydrated then do contact your pediatrician.Hopefully this will help you. In case of any further questions, you may contact me.
