What Causes Diarrhea And Foul Smelling Stool Along With Vomiting?

My 18 month old has had diarrhea for a day and a half which smells like rotten milk and her burps smell as well. She also vomitted once last night, which also smelled like rotten milk. She seems to feel fine though. Should I be worried about the foul smell?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
the symptoms you describe sound like that of a viral illness, in this case of stomach virus. These can last for several days. As long as she maintains her hydration, the illness will resolve on its own and she will be fine. I recommend helping her maintain hydration, and allowing the illness to run its course. There is no need to be overly concerned.
I find this answer helpful
