Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello dear!
please provide the details of medicines given by the doctor during hospital stay.It could be due to lack of useful bacteria vanished away by antibiotics use. Also it could be post infectious IBS.
i would recommend to start giving home made probiotic composition that is home made yogurt mixed with rice and lentil cereal(with minimum salt).It acts as a natural probiotic.
Also give fluids especially ORS after every stool and for vomiting give rice water(water that we normally throw away when we boil rice-it has starch in it),its v effective for vomiting.
If it doesnt settle with all this ,start syp. metronidazole 200 mg/5ml
(5ml thrice daily) for 7 days and syp. zinc 5 ml once daily for 10 days.
Hope it will help. Be blessed :-)
