Suggest A Medication For Gastrointestinal Distress Cause Due To Fluoride Treatment.

My 7 year old son appears to be having acute gastrointestinal distress after having a fluoride treatment at the dentist this afternoon. He has been up vomiting throughout the night. Is there anything I can or should be doing for him to help combat this, other than comfort care?

Hi...  It seems your kid is having a prodrome of acute watery  diarrhea. 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.

I suggest you give only over the counter antiemetic medicines available as per your country's laws as of now for time being.

Do not use antibiotics even with diarrhea....Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements & ORS if diarrhea starts... Hope my answer was helpful for you. Happy to help anytime. Further clarifications and consultations on Health Care Magic are welcome.
