Suggest Treatment For Tiredness And Vomiting In A Child

My 6 year old Daughter started feeling very tired two days ago. Later that day she vomited twice. Since then she is very tired one minute and not the next. She has no fever nor any other symptoms that are clear other than going to sleep when she is normally very active. She has been drinking water fine.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Tiredness and increased sleepiness in such a scenario may be a sign of dehydration. If it is associated with reduced frequency of passage of urine, it confirms dehydration. In such a case you need to take the child to a doctor without delay. Meanwhile giving ORS (oral rehydration solution) should be helpful in replenishing the lost salts and water.
