Hi Michelle,
Welcome to the HCM

I completely understand your concerns but don't worry. Your child seems to be suffering from a toddler diarrhoea or a mild stomach upset.
I see such patients regularly at my clinic. The things which I recommend are:
1. Hold excess refined carbohydrate diet such as juices, sweet deserts and chocolates for next few days.
2. Keep your child well hydrated during the episode by regular feeds and oral rehydration therapy such as lemonade, soups, buttermilk etc.
3. Give him zinc supplement for next 2 weeks. Zinc helps in regeneration of gut mucosa and early recovery.
4. For intermittent vomiting, you may give Domperidone or ondansetrone syrup.

Hopefully this will help you. For further questions, you may contact me.
Take care
