Hi.

Thanks for your query.

The possibility of a 'Viral Infection'is very common in toddlers
Other symptoms such as reduced appetite, vomiting and general weakness are common features of viral infections.
Appetite improves gradually over a week as infection heals.
The fact that your daughter has started eating well since last night is a sign of recovery. And so there are no reasons to worry.
Continue taking the antibiotics 'Oflomac' as prescribed by your doctor. You may use Crocin and Domstal syrups only if necessary.

Hope I have answered your query.

If you have any additional queries, please write back to us. I will be pleased to address them.

Warm Regards
Dr. Prasad
