Suggest Treatment To Relieve Stomach Ache, Semi Liquid Stool And Vomiting
Doctor Good After Noon, I have a 9 yrs old daughter, since last 3 days she is having pain in stomach. She wakes up in the morning with pain in stomach then she goes to toilet which is semi liquid, after that she vomits early in the morning. Today she has 2 times to toilet followed by vomit in the morning. Now she is complaining about stomach pain and not eating anything. Please let me know the treatment so that she can get relief.

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
It seems your kid is having viral diarrhoea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhoea.
I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment. If there is vomiting you can use Syrup Ondansetron as prescribed by your paediatrician.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
