Suggest Treatment For Hard Stools And Vomiting In A Child

hello, I have twin babies, a boy and a girl. They will be one year old in a few days. They were on Nutramigen Formula, and I switched to whole milk a week ago. They have hardly pooped. My daughter poops hard pebbles, and it makes her bleed and is horribly painful. Her poop is light green/yellow. My son poops one tiny dark green pepple a day, but his is not painful. I switchd to Lactaid 100% Lactose free milk a couple of days ago, and my son has thrown up each time I ve given it to him. What can I do?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of hard stools and vomiting which seems to be due to constipation, food poisoning and acute gastroenteritis. It is basically due to viral infection of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take acetaminophen in dosage of 15mg/kg. You should give child proper rest. You should them plenty of fluids to re-hydrate. You should take one banana daily. Take diet rich in multivitamins and avoid any oily sharp and fast food. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done of children to find out underlying cause of condition and start treatment accordingly. Your child's symptoms will resolve in 3-5 days.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
