Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of vomiting and loose stools which seems to be due to food poisoning and acute gastroenteritis. 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. 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
