Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of diarrhea and belching which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis and electrolyte imbalance in body. It is due to gastroesophageal reflux disease as well which leads to excessive acid production in body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to :

-Avoid hot, sharp and spicy food.

-Take banana on daily basis and light food.

-Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate body.

I would suggest you not to panic at all. You should start treatment with combination of fluoroquinolones and ornidazole. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined and start treatment after prescription. You should get intravenous fluid administration as well. .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
