Suggest Treatment For Stomach Virus And Diarrhea In A Child
My two year old had a stomach virus last Wednesday, threw up from 6am until around 10am then had diarrhea which started Thursday. She still has diarrhea today and her stomach keeps getting very hard and shewill randomly grab her stomach and cry saying it hurts over and over. Should I be concerned? Or is the virus just working its way out
Dear; it is important to keep her hydrated and with a bland diet to help to avoid dehydration. If bowel movement is liquid and has more than 4 in 24 hrs, then should bring her to An urgent care for evaluation and possible IV fluids. Thanks for using our service. DrSara
