Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of loose motion and fever which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis which could be due to a virus. It is due to disturbed metabolism and electrolyte imbalance in body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start giving oral rehydration fluids sip by sip to maintain the hydration. You should take Probiotics such as lactobacillus. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should give Ibuprofen to child along with proton pump inhibitors as well. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. I would suggest you to take antiemetic like domperidone and ranitidine for gastritis. Avoid giving any sharp and spicy food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
